coping




  • Reading Ross Gay's  Book of Delights.
  • Listening to Beautiful Chorus.
  • Stopping by The Nap Ministry. (The IG account is fabulous).
  • Reading about integrity in business, an anti-racist plan at Fancy Tiger Crafts.
  • Watching the comet, Jupiter and its moons, Saturn and its rings, and the Milky Way.
  • Popping over to My Giant Strawberry, Anne on slowing down.
  • Harvesting windowsill Meyer lemons.
  • Stretching on the deck in the early morning before the heat of the day sets in.
  • Spotting a Confederate flag about a mile down the road from us, we listened to this podcast of Brave Little State.  Don't kid yourselves friends, white supremacists are everywhere, and they are being emboldened by messages from the White House. And keep an eye on what's happening in Portland, OR. 
  • Listened to this conversation between artist friends Jen Hewitt and Lisa Congdon over at the Interracial Project. 
  • Enjoying poppies from our flower CSA at Suncatcher Farm.
  • Reading more about both John Lewis and Rev Cordy Tindell Vivian, a double loss when we are mired in a moral disaster in this country. "Can we resolve, like them, not to falter in despair?"
  • Just this.

  1. Each in our own way, yes? We slip on the garment of knowing we are not alone and we are strengthened. We are reminded that we are women, mothers, sisters, best friends and new friends and we are strengthened. We delight in the night sky, simple joys, a bouquet, reading beautiful words, listening to music, and being kind, and refuse to be drawn onto the roads that lead away from ourselves and we are strengthened. We daily weave our weft threads onto the warp that is our now because only we can and we are strengthened.
    Thank you for leading the way, Karen.
