A good word... it reminds me of Veronice Miles' "Embodied Hope", 2021 Cascade Books. We are made "imago Dei" - which upon burrowing deeply for truth is "affirmation" writ large...
This reminds me of the Ayisha Siddiqa poem with the first line, "What if the future is soft and revolution is so kind that there is no end to us in sight."
this is lovely. I recently experienced the community of Reddit (a subreddit devoted to rush tickets for Broadway shows) and it's just astonishing: people just literally on the internet for no reason than to help each other.
I need to know: what's the juicy book? Having trouble focusing on reading these days . . .
Nightbitch! It's a couple years old...both ignited lots of feelings that I had as a new mother and a great catharsis for them...and also wonderfully weird magical realism...

thank you! I’d heard of it but wasn’t sure it was up my alley. I’ll give it a try!
It's been wet here in N Ct and Western Ma. Then we go right into a heat wave so enjoy your stay even if our weather is been less than ideal.
I loved the rain all day yesterday! nourishing to my dried-out California self...
