Videos+ADHD, hard to watch. 🤪 Bookmarking for when I have more stamina in the AM.

The current shit storm and ensuing panic reminds me very much of the unpredictable, chaotic home—ruled by a narcissist—that I grew up in. In my micro corner of the world I know, deeply, that all will be well even if it increasingly becomes more hideous. Parts of nature require wild fire to regenerate itself and that’s what I keep returning to. We don’t individually control the timeline but the collective does. Rereads that are soothing/encouraging me:

The Overstory by Richard Powers

Fluke by Brian Klass (we control nothing but influence everything)

Doses of Wilber who you introduced me to!!

Taking good care of my people, contributing to my community in my small ways and remembering that no loving action is ever wasted.

Keep the book recs and things you’re looking coming!! You are a wealth of resources that, when shared, help unstuck your readers. 💓

Ha! I had to do the transcript too because my focus is gone by this point in the day. I've basically been handling my post-election anxiety/rage/fear/whatever this is by being outside as much as humanly possible and reading books. Just started Fluke - glad you liked it!
