I’m A. I’m a rural-living, single mom balancing the joy that living in community, close to nature brings, with grief about the state of the world. It’s eerie feeling the lifeblood of nature while our community builds resiliency infrastructure around food, communications, water, etc. My health has been declining (burnout) , and I’m taking time off work to tend to myself and I can’t quite seem to do everything I want and need to do. I feel like I’m constantly playing catch-up while also trying to prioritize gentle rest. Despite it all, life still feels beautiful at times. I’m still seeing the glimmers.
