Thank you as always for your wonderfully written and inspiring words. The constant feeling of carrying on with activities of daily living right now, like calmly making a sandwich for example, while the metaphorical house is burning down, is a strange, new, and so far, unwelcome experience. Nevertheless, here we are, and what can we do? When you described your poetic practice as something that insistS on rhythms of diving and emergence, that really resonates with me. What a good way to just live life right now! Instead of the dissonance of my own imagery (making a sandwich while the house burns down) which gives me anxiety, I thinking diving below waters to find calm and then emerging as necessary on the daily, is much better. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You're welcome and thank you, Genna Beth, for your kind words here. Here's to that feeling of calm and muffled quiet beneath soothing, cool waters - at least for as long as you can hold your breath...
