It’s my belief and observation that those who own the role of “tree backer” are often gifted with an ability to see, to connect the dots in the lives of those in their circle, and bring words of wisdom and/ or words of knowledge. Which only those gifted by Spirit can provide. That is a beautiful and deeply meaningful calling. One which profoundly blesses others. I speak this over you, Lore, not knowing of certainty if I am on target, but this is what I heard as I read this accounting.

How many times would I have benefitted from a friend like you had, who told you what is not you. I’ve said those words out loud many times, “if only someone who knew me had placed their hands on my shoulders, faced me, and told me, ‘this is not you!’l You are blessed. You are a blessing.

“I found and find myself seeing the merits of every other person and their lives and their arguments and their portion, and find mine lacking every single time. No matter what I choose, I believe I have chosen wrong, I am doing it wrong.”

Same.
