It's intense! But doable, I think. Sending love. What an intense moment!

Thank you, the intensity seems to be long-lasting and something I need to accept in this moment.

Sounds like you need the MacDowell Colony or one of those lovely retreats where they give writers a cozy cottage in a sublime natural setting for a week or a month, feed them nutritious tasty meals, meet all their bodily needs, and demand absolutely nothing of them. A gift of time to do nothing but write, or walk in the woods with your thoughts, awaiting inspiration. Have you ever applied?
