Until You See It
To break the structure, someone must see the structure first.
Some people say you should write toward a question you don’t have the answer to yet. I don’t work like that now. I used to.
// ART OF SMALL THINGS
What is the smallest thing you can do today just for yourself? And it doesn't have to be a fancy paid thing. It can be small like clearing your drawer (smaller than the whole cupboard) or a walk. Or a meal. Or a meal with a friend. If being with family is too close for comfort. On the same day each month. A group chat where members actually respond when something is hard.
I think this is what held communities together before villages became cities and there were programs for it. Before organising. Just following an impulse to connect, with ourselves and an other. To make right (not perfect). To be heard and held. And even if it is to "fight" (I am not condoning violence, or use of force. What gets suppressed over time does explode.)
