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. ❤️🩹 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. 💝🪶🪺
And MTF, loved learning about your imaginary bookstore and the other inspiring happenings in the QT Substackiverse (always) ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
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. ❤️🍊💛💚💙💜🩷🩵🤎🖤
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, can’t just stop, even though I’ve 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:).

Thanks Keith! I also was so taken with Emily's essay. Glad you liked my little bookstore! :)
