The Quiet of Restoration
Go back and take care of yourself.
Your body needs you,
your feelings need you,
your perceptions need you.
Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it.

But nothing is clear nor settled right now. Instead, the shroud of post-eclipse dust lingers. And we are in the midst of a particularly shadowy recalibration. continue reading
