I have good days and bad days. And I have days that start good, and then I just fall into these holes of just feeling so disoriented and despairing. I think one way for me to analyze those times, also, is just the feeling of so much — like I have nothing to hold onto, which is an experience of loss, even if it’s really ordinary things. How might I counsel myself in those waves? 

-Krista Tippett

To be transparent, I would say I have exactly the same waves. [laughs] And what I was telling myself, the other day, is:  I’m grieving.

i was talking with markell yesterday, and saying the same things, as well as other things about how life is so strange and unsettling and how we need to make the vital connections.
and i love how it happens when we stay open and spontaneous even in vulnerability and grief.
