For years I have nodded, cried, laughed, gasped (and emoted in other ways) along with your words, shocked at resonance after resonance. Yet again, I find myself in solidarity with you in the waiting for something body/health related and I just wanted to extend so much care and community to you on this piece specifically. The waiting, mystery and uncertainty is so hard. I also wanted to share a reflection of what your latest newsletter brings up for me. Earlier this year I found a piece of paper with my doodles on it and the words "Extend the timeline for everything." I don't know where I got those words from or when I scribbled them down, but they've ended up being THE words of the year. These words have made me more aware of other messages to slow, to pause, to rest, to wait. Words like bayo akomolafe's "the times are urgent, let's slow down." And so many of your newsletters have echoed this too. You modeling these words in real time has been such a supportive offering. Thank you, truly, for tuning in to yourself and letting us all witness and learn with you. Take the time you need with everything. Sending love, care and gratitude across the miles, Nic.
