Thoughts on this, too, being a life.
Had a flash bulb moment reading your essay. I'm going to quote you and include a link to this in my newsletter that comes out on Monday. (creativeinspiration.substack.com). Thanks for your perspectives!
This was exactly what I needed to read today, as I sit working against the problems of how to manage my Sunday. Thanks Devin!
you have to
let the shame come—parenting
is full of shame and the recognition
of shame and the legacy
of shame—and you have to let it
come and wash over you
without trying to stop it.
Having not been a parent, still this speaks the sober truth of shame and the grace of letting it do what it needs to do. Go where it needs to go.
Continuing to experience gratitude for being introduced through your weekly essays to poets I might otherwise not be aware of.
