I read this, then read it again, and again, and again. I can feel your outrage and sadness and determination to refocus on love and presence through the breathlessness in your delivery. Thank you for this glimpse into your inner world and how you've been processing.
I share the rage and the grave disappointment in some of our fellow humans. The consciousness of care is tied to the choices we make or ignore and to the capacity for love that we either have or lack. Thank you for another work of good writing on writing and living with care.
Thanks for sharing this Devin. Your sentence, after I read it, showed up in my mind like the force of a small oval object resembling a hand grenade, only it’s the opposite of a hand grenade - or a bullet - because it’s filled with the kind of energy we call love. Sometimes our hearts rage. Thank you so much for sharing this.❤️
Rage & feeling disheartened, again. Again & again, which is exhausting. People are saying: We're better than this---I hope that's true. But it's a hard slog...
Thank you for this beautiful post, Devin. I was also wondering how to get on the waitlist for "Rewriting Your Life." (don't see that option under the registration link).
This felt like so much permission granted to feel the feels of it all, and so much inspiration, I ended up writing a much longer comment to you stylized in kind, and I was wondering if you would be comfy with me sharing this in a restack. Thank you for what you expressed and shared.

Thank you, my heart is bursting at some of these sentences.
No one loves like anyone else.
Knowledge we are born with that conflicts with capitalism. Transactional, cheap, heartless
We can refuse this line of thinking.
We can grow tender, and more tender still.
A dear friend has always counseled: Be tender with yourself. I would like to add: and with others.
Thank you for this, Devin, the sanest most loving perspective I have found. I bow to your heart.
that's the longest outbreath of rage and love compassion and fury I have ever read or hope to read in this lifetime. thank you.

Thank you. I really needed this today.
I always appreciate your meditations and the poems you share to keep us attuned to our humanity. I wrote similarly about nature and grief and processing all this here as well https://cadencedubusbrooklynstrength.substack.com/p/our-bodies-our-blood-spatter?r=21sokg
Yes, my memories will disappear with me except for the ones planted caringly in another's mind and heart.

So beautiful and heartbreaking. Your lovingly attentive words give voice to what I have been feeling in my own depths. Thank you.
