Mary Williams, Jane Fonda’s “Lost Daughter”, Finds Hope
Mary Williams: Actually it’s so funny. That place actually r reconnected me to something that I had lost. I think because I had been emotionally separated from my birth mother so early, I never felt like I needed people. I think because I had been broken so early, it took Antarctica to kind of heal that for me.
I was living in a tent on a research base on the ice sheet in the middle of nowhere, just sky and snow that’s all you saw with sun above your head 24 hours a day and for the first time in a very long time I was lying in my tent and I had this weird feeling in my stomach and my heart kind of hurt, I didn’t know what it was and it was homesickness. It was this feeling that I was still unfamiliar with in Antarctica, the isolation of it, really brought it home and made me realize that I do need people and that I can love people and it’s scary but you know its part of being human.
Marlise: Like breaking of ice, it broke everything within you wide open.
Mary Williams: Yes.
Marlise: And now you can be with people in a whole different way. And I think many people can understand it, because how many of us have been so hurt – that you just shut down. And yet having that breakthrough of love, wow, is so beautiful.
Mary Williams: Absolutely.
Marlise: So, lets go into a Stillness Session now and experience exactly that, that love and that connection. It doesn’t take that long, and it’s so important to feel this peace in every day.
