I recently read a phrase on Cindy Milsteins blog, that still resonates with me: "Some call that depression, set in motion by trauma and grief. And no doubt there’s much that’s accurate in that. Yet I call it trying to live with “the gap between ‘what is’ and ‘what could be’”—a gap that these pandemic years has pried so far apart, it’s now (in winter three) nearly unbridgeable. And without a bridge, any sense of being able to wander forward toward horizons of possibilities gets blocked."
Healing work (and naps) are revolutionary (but need to be practiced with caution and discernment, because the new age phonies have depleted its language).
Coming straight here from 'The South Wind' to say: I read this piece and appreciated it, but did not 'like' it, because it seemed more thought-provoking than likeable, and sometimes I don't like to 'like' things until I have finished thinking about them. (And now I think about it again, I did not watch the film, so 'liking' would be a bit like agreeing under false pretences, wouldn't it? Or is that over-thinking now?)
A very beautiful text, Peter. Thank you so much.

OK not reading it yet. Will watch after I finish Mr Robot.
