Zeros and ones. When the pandemic began I was grateful to technology for remote connection and entertainment. Now, in the lengthy absence of time spent face to actual face, without physical contact or the energy we radiate as we walk into a room... I’m changing. I’m preferring written words and their finite messages to the pivot required of real-time interactions. Memes and tweets deliver bite-sized doses of snark, wisdom or neither. I sort them according to my world view.⁣

Sam accidentally just shook someone’s hand and they both freaked. He came into the kitchen and washed up vigorously, wondering out loud how he could have forgotten something so basic.⁣
⁣
I’m watching my son’s relationships disintegrate without daily interactions at school. Disagreements, squabbles - I’m gravitating towards them like a moth to a righteous flame. He literally turns it off, which is no better. ⁣

Working on a reset. When I say I miss your face I mean it. I miss you. I miss me too. I miss the Divine suspended between us. ⁣

I knew. I’ve always known. I haven’t done enough to claim and combat the racism within myself and act as an anti-racist. While participating in #amplifymelanatedvoices this week I received clarity as I connected with the work of Black activists, artists and creatives. ⁣
⁣
I saw the friend I wasn’t and should have been. My shame serves no use. Who I choose to become might. ⁣
⁣
There is shadow work to do, as @laylafsaad calls it, to be a better ancestor (see her workbook called White Supremacy and Me). I have absolute faith that a world where Black lives, women, families, health, voices, creativity, art and freedom not only matter but thrive is the world I want to live in and pass down. I have to show up for it consistently in action, time after time. ⁣
⁣
The benefit of the week was, once again, mine. Thank you, sincerely. ⁣
