september: intention
Realizing all of me could never be completely known by all of someone else (and vice versa), I mourned this idealized sense of connection and community I once yearned for. And where else could I go from this grief other than further into my study of self, excavating parts of me that I misunderstood because I’d chosen to take someone else’s word for it and instead of speaking what I knew, my truth.
july intention
We can process our intentions and set intentions for our processes. It’s about tuning into what’s in front of us and gauging the effectiveness of our reactions.
june intention
Nothing happens out of context, on its own in a vacuum, it is all connected, but disconnecting from our routines and the physical presence of loved ones brought us to something bigger, even if it was simply grief.
may intention
Even if we can’t agree on what’s “really going on,” we can all agree to take a look at how our conclusions affect our emotions. And how our emotions affect our actions. And how our actions affect those around us.
april intention
Tension is created, it’s not just discovered. It is the interaction of this and that, the resentment between us and them. Tension is not a solid object, no matter how heavy it feels. A reaction, it is a state of being, begging you to be awestruck. Tension is an unstudied disease that attacks our lungs...no wait our hearts and all at once, without noticing, we succumb by clenching and attaching, restricting and contracting.
