I’ve been on and off Substack for a few months, and I just realized how much I’ve missed you and your writing. This is such a beautiful piece, and now I’m going to dive into learning about Hildegard.
I believe we move into a different season of life when we are aware of passing time and it’s pricelessness. God bless.
Thank you so very much Alison. I miss you. Hildegard, Sweet, what special people. This was one of my favorite pieces to write. There is so much more to it all — but they will live in my heart forever. And you’re right. Our awareness of time is when everything can move to a new, more valued season. Sending you much love and blessings. ox
Nevena, thank you so much for reading this 🙏🏻 I will truly hold the people in this essay close to my heart forever. And “time” as healer in a world that doesn't see.
This really hit me hard, Deb. Not only do I love Saint Hildy, but you. You spoke for my soul and I’m going to need to gather myself! You’re a beautiful person - and writer 🤍✨🕊️
Oh Allison, it hit me hard writing it! I will hold these beautiful souls in my heart forever. I am in awe of Saint Hildy 🙏🏻💫
Thank you for this. I knew you would appreciate and very much relate to “slow medicine,” and “the reflection of the living Light” within. We have it. We feel it deeply. And it will continue to guide us forward. Her words are beyond deep, powerful and beautiful. I cried reading them.
You know this Light. You stay brave and fearless because you follow God 💫 Love you. ox
I screenshot your comments for a reason, sweet girl. I also space them out bc they carry and uplift me for days.
I love that you get it - and you remind me that I do, too. That flame may flicker, but we can strengthen it with the time the slow medicine provides. 🤍✨🕊️
Oh this means the world to me Allison. wow. I wouldn’t think much I say is that important — but love is. And strength to battle through and give everything the time it needs. Prayer, time…, best, most worthwhile tinctures. Love you. Thank you. ox
Thank you Kathryn. I don’t think I have been so filled up with the hope of this “light” in a long time. It’s how “care” should be. I so appreciate you reading and commenting. ox
A powerful compelling article that will hold on to due to so many reflections it has brought up. My motto to people is when they ask me what business I am in..... I say the Time business. Wonderful DEborah!
Thank you so much Michael. It’s all very sad really :( Humans left behind with drugs to babysit them. Time is everything. But by design we are being moo'ved quickly through the systems.

Loved this Deb and it brought back to me one of my.favorite songs.. I've been humming all around the house today "If I could put time in a bottle".
Thank you so much mama. A beautiful soul, Jim Croce, gone too soon. I will always love that song. And I love you 🥰😘 ox

I, too, am very aware of how precious time is. I love how you say “every day is a school day, and a gift from God.” That is beautiful.
