As always, thank you for your beautiful words! As I deal with chronic illness (and a horrible testing procedure from which I'm currently recovering), your writing reminds me that maybe these health challenges are leading me to something...a (re)birth, a cleansing, a reset. Paired with the current political and social climate, it's been too much to bear at times, but I'm going to let hope lead the way. Thank you for the reminder ❤️
Bask in your lake time! I'm trying to finish the first draft of a novel and feel like everyone else has so much more time than I do, although I know that's not true.
Enjoy YOUR time to decompress and read. I wasn't aware of Valerie's past post and appreciate listening to the podcast which you provided. As a nearly octogenarian, often toombs have really been wombs more often than not. This is a beautiful reminder how important our midwives are. xo
Asha Sanaker: Thank you for sharing the powerful message in the Sikh Tradition of this inspiring call to moral action.
Valerie Knaur: "What if this darkness is not the darkness of the tomb, but the darkness of the womb?"
Reverend William Barber II was standing at Ms. Knaur's side, inspired by her call to moral action. Ms. Knaur had recounted a dismal history of racist violence and the tremendous hurdles her boy will face as a young man with brown skin in America, and she bemoans to rise of a renewed Jim Crow, but asks,
"What if this darkness is not the darkness of the tomb, but the darkness of the womb?"
What if these racist movements are the death throes of the old and the metamorphosis of America into a culture with a love of the great gift of many cultures!
Sometimes we see the light at the end of the tunnel. Other days it’s an oncoming train.
I hear you.
I see you.
Thank you for crafting this lovely essay from your reflections. I hope you enjoy your time off at the lake.
Very rude of you to telepathically reach into my head and steal these exact thoughts:
“Well, look at you with all your… words and… cohesive thoughts. How lovely for you!”

You can do it. I believe in you!
I love this. Thank you, Asha. May your lake time give you space to breathe.
Thank you, Cathleen. ❤️ I was just thinking of you the other day. I hope you are well.

Self care is earth and other care. Breathe and rest before you have to breathe and push again. ✨️ 💕 🌺
