This was a great article. Every morning I take some time to "Be still and know that I am God." For me, remembering that God is creative and loves people, helps me to want to be that way also. Problems that seem too large to solve, whether personal or international, do not loom so large when I redirect my focus.
I enjoy this article and agree with the thrust. While many doom scroll the app platforms on our phones, I have discovered creativity among that chaos. Much of the mind-expansion you recommend is available in humorous, emotional or provocative posts. One must curate those posts carefully. Thank you for an interesting start to my day.
Great article. Looking up solar punk. Could this article be one of the ones made shareable? I have a group of friends I think would really find this helpful. And love the part about just creating. I have a knit hat I need to just do nd not worry about how it turns out. Gonna start it again!
Hi Lisa- I believe you should be able to share the link and your friends would be able to read the article even if they do not subscribe. They just would not be able to comment.
As an artist and author writing a book on the importance of making wonder a habit to tell ourselves and each other a better story about our future and unlock the power of courageous connection… I’m not gonna lie. I cried good tears through this article. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Rahaf, the raw reality of today is that the Trump bunch is methodically transforming our democracy into an autocratic society and that has to stop now. Period. Going to an art gallery is not going to hack it . Simply put, we need to resist it through representation in our government set up by our constitution and letting our reps know NOW that what is happening is UNACCEPTIBLE. Your advice is thoughtful," but in my opinion, tepid . Our voice must be heard now to help "cease and desist" the Trump onslaught.
I was meditating on these ideas today on my morning walk and then came and found your article in my inbox. It was what I needed, and I am grateful to have read it. Thank you.
Looking up solar punk, stat.
I’ve wanted to write for a long time like I used to but it never feels functional or practical. A good reminder that it doesn’t have to be, thank you.
