My Friends, Do Not Lose Heart
"We were made for these times..." – Clarissa Pinkola Estés
This line came out of the wreckage of September 11. When everyone was asking: how much more can our collective nervous system possibly take? A lot of things stopped making sense, we lost 'normal' altogether, whatever it ever was. This 'new normal' was born.
Not to downplay the madness of this moment, but every gen thinks it’s facing the end of the world. Yet again and again, we adapt, rebuild, and find ways to blast more hope through the rubble.
Anyway, this essay bear-hugged me in my deep, dark funk this week. Hope it gets its arms around you too. ☺️
