I'm taking time to develop new skills and make repairs during the big storm. I am trying not to be to apocalyptic as that can rob our vision of the future and what it can be. Like Seth Godin says the future is built day by day. Great read! Thanks for the Nick Cave quote.
I think of our moods and emotions like the emerging and changing colours in a sunset. They are beautiful, not because they arise from sunlight, but because they arise from way the sunlight dances with the dark.” Beautiful.
Thank you for talking about this. I think it’s so important now that we examine hope and also paradox. The fullness of where hope can be found is captured in this metaphor of dance.
And thank you, thank you for the mention of my rolling desk. ♥️

And I love the message of your viral Note. I'm deeply grateful to be quoted and mentioned here, in such fine company. Congratulations on reaching 500 subscribers! Reading The Slow Slip is a newfound pleasure and a balm for my soul.

My inner, non-stop optimism and that there are things in the world / with us crazy humans that stay "the same as ever" (as Morgan Housel writes)
Here's to inner, non-stop optimism, Claudia!
