A soothing read this new moon morning, I hope you stay safe during all the storms, mental and physical, and have access to resources that are abundant and nourishing. You do a good job holding the both/and in life and expressing it in your writing as well 🫶🏾

This is such a gorgeous reflection, thank you for sharing. I love the perspective on ease as being dynamic and changing according to the seasons this quote particularly "Your ease may take the shape of rest, or it may take the shape of listening, and either way, it is your attempt at being here fully". And, of course, the decolonial analysis you brought in is gold 🌟

Awe! Of courseeee! I’m so so glad to hear that love! Two years ago, I sat as a storm raced towards the coast I was living on and when I looked out I was just truly in awe by the power of it all. Like, I looked right into it. It made landfall in the community right next to me and it was really devastating! :( Hoping for safety as it continues to move its way inland.

I found these lines so powerful: "To be born into a bloodline where your rest has been negotiable, where your body has been afraid to be caught, where your survival has been pitted against ease generationally, where you have not seen any evidence that the world values you when you are not working for it, means you may now be seeking a safe place to unload your ease. "

They communicate so much that has been experienced through generations. Sending love from India!

Be safe dear. You know I have been through several hurricanes in my life here on the East coast in the USA; a couple have left me and my family displaced. One can never be certain a of time like this

Thanks so much for the love and wishes. You’re so right. So sorry to hear about how hurricanes have affected you in the past, I can only imagine that experience. I’ve read that this one is waning in power, I hope it continues that way as it moves up.
