If you found yourself here, welcome. As a reaction to feeling depleted from other social platforms, I have opted to share here. I am cultivating my writing voice and at times I know my writing will be clunky. I am also in the process of slowly adding to this digital space. Thank you for being here.
I am currently in Blanca, Spain at an art residency, more about that in a later post. In my work here along with the foreseeable future I am exploring what it means to belong. What does it mean to belong to you? And so after being in Denver for the last handful of years and Colorado most my life. I am taking a step out. I am traveling not as a tourist, but to research belonging. For myself and to understand how to help others feel belonging.
I write with solidarity for the people of Ukraine and what they are experiencing. Also, to those protesting in Russia. We see and support you.
I want to turn away yet, it is a privilege to tune out. Rather then careen and be tossed into doom, I am tuning into the voices that envision a better future.
( I listen to audiobooks on the app Libby. It is free and you only need a public library card to check out audiobooks and digital books)
People I am paying attention: adrienne marie brown. A powerful voice and the author of Pleasure Activism, go support their work. Here is a excerpt from a recent poem:
to trust love i gaze in mirrors
soft eyes recognizing my distinct life
by its flaws
i swoon for each wound and scar
i remember: i’m made of the same dust
as mercury and marswe are constellation
Today and everyday treat yourself like you would a child. Get lots of rest, don’t spend too much time on screens and dance wildly.
With love, lindee
