Today is today,

I woke up with a clear mind & open heart 

With the realization that starting new things are hard 

And they hurt sometimes 

Mostly in that place that never got the care and love it desired 

The place that’s now on full display for the world to see 

And judge and comment 

I figure there was a time in our collective connection when unfurling these

forgotten parts of ourselves were held & protected by those around us 

And maybe that still exists 

Maybe if we slow down

Release the fear of running out of time

Reconnect, ask for help

Not with our voice but with a signal

I want to get back to that place 

It’s closer than we might think.

I’ve been having this visceral fear of running out of time lately. It feels like it’s taken me so long to finally discover “the thing”, to finally synthesize ideas and concepts into a tangible vehicle--that--to slow down even a tick or take the time to refine even a little bit, in my mind, pushes “the thing” over to the edge of :: this will never happen. Very dramatic haha! What I’ve found is that “the thing” is me and it is always being expressed, it is always impacting something, someone, somewhere so I can’t run out of time to do something that already exists. It’s a daily dance. 🪩 Thanks always for sharing your notes with us !

So great to hear from you Jas ✨ I have also struggled with the notion of running out of time and its terrifying. Then I remember that time is a human construct and I feel better 😂 but it took me a long time to be chill about it, I was always on a track race against myself. I believe “running out of time” is also part of societies conditioning that once we reach a certain age we start to lose value (which is absolutely ridiculous). Sending you love Jas!
