Loneliness is not the reason to start a village. Being together does not extinguish the longing nor does it feed the desire to have your loneliness end. Your willingness to live as though you or the village may not live to see another day is the labour. The labour of village making doesn’t extinguish your longing. It’s the throne for your longing to sit upon.” ~Stephen Jenkinson I have heard it said that ‘codependency is a problem. But isnt co-dependency the very nature of Nature, of this Life & Death pageantry that we might call Home? Isn’t codependency the inevitable implication of this Being-Here, together? Perhaps, as with loneliness, it is codependencys throneless-ness, it’s vilageless-ness, that is the problem and ache and symptom-starter. But perhaps not— Perhaps this ‘problem,’ too, is not even a problem. Regardless, I will build village and throne— proceeding as if, utterly, needed. In this way, the ache-through is the break-through. In this way, the moon she longs for the sun—already lit-up by him. Yet she still longs. Yet still— She longs.
