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?)
Overthinking or not, this is a reminder to me to not pay too much mind to how many "likes" something gets because the real appreciation and conversation happens on a more complex level anyway
Just finished watching it and just read your piece. Thank you for talking about something that is so alive in movement spaces where I do some support. I will share this.
A very beautiful text, Peter. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Yeah, this is a beautiful quote from Cindy!

Thank you Peter!
OK not reading it yet. Will watch after I finish Mr Robot.
Thank you for pandering to my anti-spoiler dogmatism...
