Wow! This resonates so powerfully! It struck me just now, that in my life, ServiceSpace and its many "projects" served as one of the triggers and as an embodiment of Guan-yin, imploring me to not leave my compassionate heart behind, and to reclaim the sacred, repressed feminine within me, at a time when I was walking fixedly on the academic path but sensing somewhere deep that it was the wrong fit for me. Thank you very, very much for this, Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen and Anne-Marie :)
