The markets, the crumbling archaic sociocultural paradigm, late capitalism, the post-pandemic devastation... We are feeling the plight of the collective as well as our own individual challenges. This piece is an acknowledgment of the difficult universal emotions which coexist with the joy and the beauty of the human experience.
In spite of my shyness, I am dedicated to expressing, rather than suppressing, the full range of my emotions. At this time I am grieving. I am tender. I am raw. I am also resilient and creative and resourceful in so many ways. If you are reading this, I suspect you are much the same!
