I swear. I think there is something in the stars these days, because these feelings of general overwhelm and more-specific "tell-me-again-why-we're-going-on-like-everything-is-fine-ness" are running rampant through my head, heart, and various friend groups. I definitely need me some Ted Lasso, but I've been holding out to watch with my daughter (who is hardly ever home because: girlfriend). Maybe tonight's the night for that little pick-me-up. Meantime, I just listened to a podcast that you might enjoy. I'm a long time follower of Sharon Blackie and her fabulous work around myth and the mythic imagination and reclaiming power and pretty much everything else she does. This is her most recent interview on a podcast called, intriguingly, "Accidental Gods." Sharon touches on the power of place, her experiences with/relationship to death, and a whole lot more that I found very soothing and hopeful. Maybe you will, too. :)

Oh wow. I think I found a crack on Thursday. I don’t know exactly what it was but I started feeling like myself (or at least the self that I want to be). I felt a lightness and even a happiness that has been absent for so long. It carried over into Friday. I’m going to try and find myself some more cracks.
