You took the words right out of my brain and put them on the page. I have been staring at my book proposal for months, trying to just let the truth come out. Trying to just… “say it”. Such a good read.
"Connect to fire + speak for who you love + offer better" -- a friend wrote to say she's got the last two down, but the first one is hardest. Pretty sure we're ALL lopsided. How do you get in touch with your anger? The generative kind?
I actually give it a different name, instead of anger... It's like a burning courage. I know anger is in the fuel, but I find I can connect to it more without referring to it as anger (which can become sadness/shame so fast for me, personally, and has a different kind of burn rate, pun intended). So if I recognize it as an almost holy flame? Feels like I can bring it my mama bear, my revolution truth speaking, my sassy smart pants, but somehow connecting that to a different idea helps it be generative. Miraculous rage? Passionate purpose-filled laser of clarity? I think of what seems fucking ridiculous, in terms of the amount I think change is overdue. I think if the urgency of now, the ripples that can start as soon as I speak.
This this this this!!!! This is why I call it fire -- but obviously HOLY FLAME is even better! All of this is SO damn juicy, and mischievous to boot -- we find the language that lights us up and sidestep the language that shuts us down and know that is part of our HOLY TUSSLE (another phrase I adore) ❤️❤️
YES, I am ready for that Tussle! and make some fractal perturbations in the space time continuum. Makes me think of the word tensegrity, and the way fascia interacts like fabric and liquid... I visualize building up energy to then be able to like... Bend the matrix. You know, a typical work day.
