Anastasia. You have been such an inspiration to me. There are so many experiences in my life lately that send me messages of unworthiness, ineptitude, failure, social incompetence. I would have lifted you up as a model of success/perfect, and indeed, I believe that. AND, I see you as human. Real. Vulnerable. And that gives me hope. I can get through this. All of this. Eventually finding my true self (I’m SOOOOO much happier in nature without humans!!) and my place in this world. Thank you for being you and sharing YOU with us. 🥰
Your honest vulnerability is a gift to us all. Thank you. I have 20 years on you and am only now stumbling onto realizations of who-I-actually-am that are a contrast of childhood misperceptions of who I was. Keep dancing ☺️
Also, where is the Kula sponsored section of road?
Laura, it's quite shocking, isn't it? Ugh! But it's also a beautiful process to 'awaken' from -- the stark contrast makes the gratitude and appreciation so much more stunning!
The Kula section of road is 3 sections of the mountain loop highway outside Granite Falls. All three sections are marked, and we are responsible for hosting 2x clean ups per year to remove litter from the sections. It's super rewarding to see the before/after difference! I believe we've removed well over 2,000 pounds of trash at this point. Pretty cool!
I got goosebumps hearing those poems!!
Awww, thank you, friend! I hadn’t read them in SO LONG, it was really special to share them!
This piece is beautiful. Your poems resonate deeply. Thank you for being so courageously vulnerable!
