I see this so often at the end of life. People who still try to handle things themselves that they clearly can no longer. It’s heartbreaking to watch someone struggle with vulnerability and at the same time, totally understandable. We live in a culture which values individuality and ‘strength’ and learning how to rely on others and receive is a great big work to be done at the end of life when there is no choice. How have you practiced receiving today????? 💜 @mindfulmft

this year, and beyond, i will move with my own mutability as a gift and no longer search for performative one-dimensionality. being home has taught me this, as i have had to witness my own shapeshifting and reckon with the deep-rooted reasons for it. i remember one day hearing adrienne maree brown and bayo akomolafe ask each other, “so what if i’m a shapeshifter?” and how they instinctually move and mutate through the cracks of the earth, and i haven’t stopped thinking about it since. this piece of writing is inspired by that question. as i become many different forms, i will stay grounded in my ever-changing essence and merge together the many shapes i am capable of becoming. 💞
