I love this post. The mud hut and the curtains. Reminds me of my childhood. I certainly wasn't starving or in this little girls place, but I used to get a medium size cardboard liquor box, cut out windows, decorate it with curtains, pictures from magazines hanging on the walls, and a crap of fabric on the floor for a rug, and pretend it was safe, loving house.
"But I think a more helpful frame is to consider that we are all trying to navigate through this thing called life and certain things help us do that without imploding." My Dad built bombs, the head engineer in charge of all the nuclear warfare produced the the USA. I never felt safe. My creativity is what got me through life!
I LOVE Brainstorm Road, the wonderful people, the fabulous support, and the safety of doing small bits daily to inch our way towards our dreams.
"One day I need to hear more about your backstory." Thanks!, it's been a wild ride. I wrote my memoir, Unseen Connections: A Memoir from Pain to Joy, in Writing in Community!
This is lovely. And thank you for the shoutout to the rectangles. This makes so much sense. Doing it because we want to is reason enough. It's been great to do the thing that was always in the shadows to the forefront, as it's given us everything.
