The State

of you

Hello friends,

Today I’m wondering how often we check in with ourselves. As the world presses against us, I ask: What is the state of you?

What are you making time for? What are you grieving or celebrating? How does your body feel? Your heart? Where do your thoughts run or rest? And…

What is the state of beauty in your life? How much beauty to do revel in or allow yourself to cherish?

And I also wonder: What is the state of our families or communities?

How much are we celebrating each other? How much are we supporting each other? Do we hold our friends in their anger, grief, or joy? How often do we ask for or offer help?

What is the state of beauty in our communities? How often do we share art, songs, and ideas?

See… art, songs, and ideas are glue to help us keep things together. When we are held together, we can act, and help build the worlds we desire. Beauty keeps us going when things feel as if they just might fall apart.

So: What is the state of you? What is the state of your communities? And where do you seed beauty in your life?

Wishing you well — Thorn
