I’m big into surprising folks on what’s “next”. I like keeping my cards close to my chest in some situations for the “reveal” factor.
I’m choosing to abandon that today. And I’m choosing to give my future-self permission to not regret this.
It’s been hard to write with the state of the world globally and locally. My debut book Welcome, Wonder is in the world and I would love for you to purchase a copy; know that I offer it with the intention of you being resourced by my words to go practice the world we want to create (I say more about that here). I am also soul-level aware of the weighty moment we are in. It’s tragic and shattering to watch and experience humanity use its powers for the destruction of everything that Loves us. “Crushing” isn’t a heavy enough word.
I still believe in Wonder. I believe They are teaching me how They show up in times like these. Maybe one day I’ll have learned enough to write about it. That day is definitely not today.
I have been considering grief. And I have been…reconsidering grief. I’ve been gazing upon grief from a cosmic perspective (no surprise there). And…I’ve been fiddling around in Canva.
Below, I have some images I’d like to use in an upcoming series I’m working on called Astronomical Grief: A Space Exploration. Comment and let me know which one you like. And feel free to share to help my crowd source votes.
Ooooh I love this!!!
I like option one. It feels dreamy and puts me into an imaginative space. Sometimes grief makes you want to just be elsewhere.
