Wow, Frances. This is raw and wonderful. Thank you for acknowledging your current place, in that pit, which I have been feeling deeply this week as well, and the challenge of showing up when your heart isn't completely 'in it.' It's so familiar, these ebbs, these moments when showing up is all we can do. And there is such immense beauty in the process of exploring ourselves in that place. Thank you, as always, for being you and for sharing your process.
Thank you for sharing your own struggles, Lyn! I feel like I can sometimes convince myself I am the only one struggling in this current moment...which of course isn't true, but our minds do love to create narratives for us. I agree, there is something about being able to meet ourselves even in the darkness that feels profound and beautiful. I hope that you are able to find some joy in your days!
Frances-this is a jam packed one!! Wow…I love the coupled images over time & your thoughts/feelings about re-looking & edits & the *use* of self portraits for you. Many many parts resonate. Thanks for so often managing to get words out & sharing them.
