Wise words. I myself have been dedicating more time to reading and writing this year, a private resolution, and I have already felt the better for it -- aware enough, but not overwhelmed, even today.
Saving this so when the feeling of mindless flagellation stemming from the social media firehouse of misery starts to overwhelm, I have a brief moment of clarity. Thank you for expressing everything I’ve been feeling for the last few years. It’s all too much, we can’t exist like this.
So true. I’m also writing a book right now, and it’s made me so much more mindful about what I consume on a regular basis (though I admit the content moderation michigas yesterday had me seated).
so true about intent, every time i read a book i'm surprised at how relaxing and enjoyable it is. great essay!
Thank you Kara!

We really can't. We have to find a better way! I'm gonna try to figure that out.

Same! And very much same, as you know.
