It's July 24th, and what a whirlwind the last five months have been.
Today Taylor Swift released an entire new album, on a whim. ( which I have inevitably been playing on repeat. ) These are the things I hoped the virus would bring. Some time for space. peace. breath. I have seen the beauty in the space for a lot of people recently.
To-do items that had been missed for years are being completed.
Relationships that have brought more meaning.
More presence. More honestly.
I wish I could ask every human on earth something they've learned in the last four months that they didn't know prior. I believe the answers would range from "homemade banana bread recipes, memorized" to "how much quiet contemplation is needed for development."
I've been thinking a lot about what we really need. How peaceful the spaces in-between are.
That life will proceed if I never get my stuff back. If I never step one foot back into Milan.
Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.
but life is mostly about the beauty in the trees and the leaves.
I've been hoping more words would come to me, but I've been pretty quiet recently.. so in the mean time, I have some theoretical questions for you:
What did you learn in the last four months?
what are you proud of yourself for?
what are your proud of humanity for?
how are you loving better?
many hugs XXX (we don't have enough these days)
