Constellations
Searching for light and connection in times of darkness
As I write this, I have one subscriber (myself) and I don’t even know if I will actually publish (is that the right lingo?) this first post. But this is what I know - Right now, things are dark. Right now, the attacks on women, people of color, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, science, the environment - all of it is weighing heavy on my heart. Right now, I sometimes feel hopelessness and a complete loss of control. And in these times, there are two things that help me - 1) writing 2) connecting with others who feel the same way. So I thought this would be the perfect space to do both.
At the same time I am deathly scared of my writing (and by connection myself) being judged and criticized. But there are ideas in my mind and scribbling in my notebook that long desperately to breathe out in the open. When things are overwhelming, I try to think a little smaller. What is the next small step I can take in the right direction? So making this first post is my next small step.
My hope is to create a community of love, hope, and connection, of joyful resistance. If you’re with me - come join! If you hate this, maybe keep it to yourself (I’m really sensitive). But I hope that you are with me, because I believe we can get through this together.
