Brilliant - thank you 🙏 I’m forwarding this to some of my family to help explain me as they Really don’t understand. I stand here invisible. They see me only because there’s a shape in front of them defined by their bed-sheet of perception thrown over my form. This may help. Thank you again. Joanne

I had not seen this quote from Pearl S. Buck before. People who are not Makers nod politely but don’t relate to the necessity of “create, create, create.” It’s so great to read Buck’s validation of it. And I love your first offering about returning to the things that make one feel good and at home. Fantastic writing! Thank you for this piece.

Creative creatures,

sensitive beasts humans are.

This resonates. That line about letting go of trying to be good and just trying to be true - it's like a permission slip for those of us who feel everything at volume 11.

Yeah, when I first heard that line from Rosemerry, really landed with me as well.
