Rest and restore! We will all be here when you are back. I feel you so much on the pressure, I have the same in my newsletter but sometimes I allow myself some rest. I write about deconditioning from systemic issues in a poetic ways and I feel the pressure is a way for me to learn. How do I strip myself of the production pressure? Can I be of service and still take a break? I grapple with all these questions so much, and I think that it is so important to allow ourselves and think of ourselves as valuable even when we cannot give 100% as creatives. This is just my thought process and as everything it is constantly changing. I hope you return with even more people supporting you! Much love ♥️
hi River! two days ago, I flew down to Delhi. A friend is travelling and I have her house to myself, with cats for company, for six whole weeks should I want it. But I'm not essential here, and someone will come take care of the cats if I want to go back home, and all of this is such a luxury. It's a beautiful old flat that my friend and her family have nurtured for decades, and the balcony has not just plants but little trees, and this morning I plucked an orange that I plan to squeeze into my lunch. my book is behind, I have not worked at all this week, I've been tired and in pain, but today I got up early and I made myself breakfast and talked to my husband and now I'm writing to you.
I'm sorry life has been so hard on you. I hope things get better soon <3
Wishing you good health and a restorative, regenerative time for body, mind and spirit. Sending love. PS- the flowers are lovely! It’s snowing again in Upstate New York…
Take some well-deserved rest, River. Appreciate you modeling this for your community here.
