So good, and such a good perspective on dealing with the hard things in life. On a practical note, I loved the read along. It was a joy to listen to while working.
What a stunning account—thank you for sharing it. I absolutely cannot wait to see what magic you are going to make with those rocks! Your art—and you—are such a gift to this world. 💜
Marina, I've been saving this one to savor, and I'm so grateful I did. This is not only beautifully written but profound truth that I need to sit with to unpack. You helped me to name that I have a practice of "cheating on" my current project (whatever it may be) with another side project that is always 100% creative, experimental, and delightfully free. I used to feel ashamed about this - was it a self-defeating procrastination self-sabotage? why am I addicted to new ideas? - but now I'm coming to see this as a beautiful sister text: the way my mind works.
Also, I never read the word THESIS as THE SIS until I saw it spelled out in your essay here. Could it be that the sister texts are always within The Task, waiting to find and accompany us? Mind blown.

Thanks, Chelsea! And glad to hear you liked the spoken version, it was fun to make and I'd like to keep exploring audio storytelling.
This is so gorgeous! And offered me new avenues into some of my own thoughts and activities - what a hospitable space you've made.
Lyndsey, thanks so much for your encouragement! Looking forward to hearing what possibilities unfold in your life.

I am sure that you will be involved with whatever rock-magic occurs. Thanks for the gift of your friendship 💛
