Beautifully woven reflections here. The way this piece holds contradictions togehter without trying to resolve them is powerful. I find myself doing similar mental gymnastics lately, especially tht tension between wanting to stay present and the impulse to numb out.
I so resonate with what you share here, Darcy! Given all that's going on in our country (and the world), at times I feel torn between the urge to scream, surrender, "fight", hide, and everything in between. And really, as you write, the deepest part of me just yearns to be reminded and reassured that all will be well.

Mental gymnastics- yes. That struggle is real each and everyday. Thanks for sitting in the tension with me. It’s nice to know I’m not alone.
