Is that’s what’s happening today? I feel stuck in a freeze with heavy emotions floating through, but they don’t feel like mine. I woke up feeling good and then got stuck out of nowhere. No known trigger. I’m sure some of it’s mine, but I think a lot is the collective reacting to the hurricane. I feel like I’m waiting.
Ah that’s it. Helps to know. I was wondering if I was going into a depression. I can handle processing some grief collective or mine. Gives me a purpose. Thank you Nora!!
You're welcome. I was not at all intending on sending out two pieces on the same day, but felt very prompted to send this one out now! Thanks so much for confirming for me this was the correct choice.
Thanks, Nora. This was very helpful and beautifully written. It felt poetic. The idea of unresolved collective grief struck sadly home, as did concern for all who are staring down Hurricane Hilliary and making preparations. The idea of another wave of COVID is chilling; I have not heard that predicted and I don't want it to be so! But it will be what it will be. Thanks for the heads up and for this thoughtful article. I am thinking of all who are in the path of the storm and holding intention for more gentleness than expected.
As you so wisely have often said, one cannot heal while the trauma is ongoing. I see this as a continuing situation and yet we all are grappling at healing the assaults with our best efforts... and they are heroic. Thank you for so continuously taking the view of addressing it all and pointing out its potential enormous impact on a present moment basis.
I so love you and Jon and wish you and the furry kids a peaceful time now and when or if a storm comes to your area. Love you

Yes, exactly. Waiting and it's triggering all this unprocessed grief.

Thank you so much, Kate. I was going for poetic, I appreciate your acknowledgment :)
Yes, there is a wave happening right now due to a new variant. No one knows yet if this will be a blip or something bigger.
