I've Joined Substack! THE LINGERING GLITTER
a place to pause for things that reflect the light
A wise young editor told me I should think about joining Substack—so here I am:
The Lingering Glitter will be an evolving journal of notes, essays (old & new,) musings (my own & others,) and other various light-reflecting, shimmering bits that I’ve stumbled upon and wanted to share.
Like this:
“In this moment of deep upheaval… community is actually opening up and saying: what a mess, and welcome to this mess, and I want to be in this mess with you.”
And this:
“The science of resilience tells us that another helpful action is to lean on community. So, I am going to conjure the words of wise souls who’ve managed to evade creative paralysis, those brilliant mark makers who keep me inspired, informed, and tethered to hope on days when I cannot find my own. Hope and progress of any kind may very well be a marathon, a long road demanding our stamina, but it is important to remember they are only truly sustainable when we engage with them as a relay. We are each a part of an inseparable, earthly whole.”
