a rambling of heart …

why does it all move so fast.

what is it about speed.

could it be it means we don’t have to get too close for too long.

to the truth.

to the each other.

to ourselves.

I feel so out of place sometimes.

out of touch, not with reality but with a reality that has only a surface, a drive by.

I recognized this again on my travels.

once standing in front of the trevi fountain. an unbelievably magnificent creation surrounded by an equally ancient and beautiful bustling city.

standing in front my eyes not quite wide enough to take it all in, the beauty, the magnitude, the story and my body not quite grounded enough to either as hundreds of people pose, file, wedge their way closer. my heart wanted space to feel its meaning. time just didn’t meet it there.

on another day a guide through Naples repeated with each swaying step,
“piano, piano”
“slowly, slowly”
her cadence so slow it was hard to keep step. her ease in voice and movement a reminder to us all to be mindful on the cobblestone and a deeper nudge to my spirit, don’t get rushed away.

as i’m settling back in to my system post jet lag, travel logged, i’m beginning to process and download bits of this beautiful experience and again the gifts of and/both.

a whirlwind adventure.

16 straight days with my mom and my sisters ♥️🤩

why does it all move so fast.

impermanence is bittersweet.

did i see it all.

live it fully.

make the most of the minutes and days.

my heart is full of gratitude and my body and brain, of overwhelm.

i want more. need more.

time.

rest.

awe.

connection.

depth.

understanding.

and i am another day, another experience closer to what that means to me.

and that in this moment is enough.

traveling is AMAZING (hard and beautiful 🤪) returning home is too ♥️

I finished The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek recently.
if you’ve been around me, ya know.
i’ve been in a bit of a reading rut. stuck.
having a hard time even picking one up.
i have not been able to finish the Great Believers (Rebecca Makkai) which is a wonderful read, really great.
when I was in college I volunteered for AVOL, i have always had a tenderness to the cruelty of the AIDS epidemic and I think presuming the ending of this book has been too much for my heart.
it felt a bit like cheating starting a new book with that one so touching and open ended but i also knew deep down i needed something to bring me back. and boy did this one light me on up. i’ve been in some reflection after finishing tho.
i’ve not been the type of reader that just breezes through book after book after book. and i’m realizing now it’s because the books that have landed in my lap have shook me, touched me so deeply I do not want to move on. I want to let their message keep reaching me, teaching me.
it was another realization, validation of spirit, of empathy and of connection.
this book is so relevant to our times even tho set in the 30s and I wonder if people recognize, if they identify easily too to these characters and or who they would be or are being in their timeline of injustice. i’m guessing so.
it also reminded me of some of my most favorites over the years and how there is a powerful theme weaving going on. none of these books i sought, they found me and each of them, historical fiction, and unbelievably strong, empowered women at the heart of them all.
The Book of Longings, sue monk kidd
The Nightingale, kristen hannah
The Frozen River, Ariel Lawhon
The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, Kim Michele Richardson
(two that have also moved me well, just not strong women leads
Between the World and Me, (nonfiction)Ta-Nehisi Coates
Demon Copperhead, Barbara Kingsolve)
this has grounded me in a way that I feel ready to finish The Great Believers and let it too scar this tender heart toward care.

i am grateful for history, literacy, advocacy.
anyhoo, anyone else have this kind of response to reading?

happy friday ♥️
