So moved and stirred by your words as always. Thank you for naming it all both plainly and particularly -- and for circling around possibility amid it all. It is so deeply felt and appreciated from afar. xx

I'm ever-grateful, Lisa, thank you. Was using your wisdom in a poetry class I teach the other day: "A gentle reminder: imperfection is literally the only option."

It guides me deeply & constantly!

So much yes to all of this. I have taken away much from just this one post and I am grateful for the way you form words around the seeming impossibility of human-ing with any semblance of ethics in this moment. I am moved by the moral courage of many I see speaking out against many decades' worth of their own past thinking and the propaganda of family/community.

Buying Essentialism at your recommendation! It's what I need in my life for REAL at this moment.
