Love this, thank you. While solitude can be restorative, isolation truly is poison.
Doing things that help me stay embodied, staying connected to the natural world/nonhuman kin, communion with ancestors, and ritual are all intentional practices that are helping me stay afloat right now. Seeing those ideas reflected here felt deeply affirming and supportive. And I'm so glad to have learned of Jacoby Ballard, thank you for that introduction, too! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤
Oh my goodness. I truly cannot recommend Jacoby’s book A Queer Dharma enough. From what I know about you through Substack, I think you would love it! It has been, and continues to be, a refuge of wisdom for me. ❤️ And, I’m so glad this felt validating. Your mention of being in nature and connecting to nonhuman kin is 100% a grounding practice for me as well. 🙏
Thanks so much, Kiki. Looking forward to picking up A Queer Dharma! And I'm not surprised to hear that you ground in nature, too. Here's to better weather for doing more of that, with greater ease, soon (if you're also in a place where it's not so easy to do that right now)! 🌼🐝
