Thank you, Troy, for publishing it. Yes, our minds and nervous systems work really hard to keep us safe, and it wears us out! And we, I mean me here, canβt just stop, even though Iβve got tons of tools to help me do that. I have to keep reminding myself to be gentle with me and the whole process of being human. Thanks again:).
Wow, Emily...this is beautiful and tender. I feel the exquisite, fallow ache of it as it reverbs through. That way in which the past haunts the unknown future, for very real reasons. β€οΈβπ©Ή I'm so glad you bought that print. A small act of faith in the possibility that the feather will not be crushed nor blown away. Thank you for your beautiful words. ππͺΆπͺΊ
And MTF, loved learning about your imaginary bookstore and the other inspiring happenings in the QT Substackiverse (always) β€οΈπ§‘ππππ
Thanks Keith! I also was so taken with Emily's essay. Glad you liked my little bookstore! :)
I SO identify with the "catastrophic thinking" Emily - it is a way of protecting ourselves in an uncertain world, but god is it exhausting. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful meditation, we're honored to publish your guest post. β€οΈππππππ©·π©΅π€π€
