Today’s newsletter:
*
Do we know we are mystery to those that love us, do we understand the layers yet to uncover, the threads that lead to knots that lead to others beyond? We are balls of twine and muscle, sinew and thread, blood and yarn, we coil around ourselves, we wrap tighter when we are pulled. Someone will come, they always come I am here to tell you this truth, someone will walk in with nimble fingers and patience for the dissecting of knot and snarl. Mystery, they will name us, unknowable thing worth investigation and study. Us, we will say, truly us? You, they will say, always you, and they will set themselves to unravelling.
*
At some point in this endeavor, we will look over with guilt and horror in our eyes, we will stare at the pile of all we wrapped ourselves in, all the discarded extra we collected along the way, nested like flying things, and we will try to offer apology. Unnecessary, they will say, and hold our mess to light like an offering, like a newborn to first light.
*
Listen when they praise our torn threads and web of all we thought we needed, listen when they call us beautiful. We are ten thousand strings twisted and swirled around one another, we are rope fraying but strong. Someone will come and call us mystery, but they will say these words with light in their eyes.
*
Someone will come.
*
You are mystery,
and I’m unravelling you.
What will uncover?

We’re staring at it, some new home on some new horizon, and we’re planning it with excitement and verve. It’ll come, I know it will, but for now, we’re looking for all the beauty, all the new, right around us. It’s ok to do both. I promise.

We’re staring at it,
new home on a horizon,
a new start awaits.

Hi friends. This is The Never Was #43. During these Covid times, so much has been revealed, a light shone on who can reach you, can touch you, from half a planet away. Fight for these people. (at Link in Bio)

It’s no secret that our worlds have most likely stayed disturbingly the same over the last year. The Groundhog Day monotony repeating itself over and again, waking to the same routines, the same anxieties, the same apprehensions, the longings that won’t stop burrowing into our every thought. This is ok. Feeling overwhelmed, burned out, and just plain sick and tired of things being what they are is ok, there’s no wrong way through this pandemic, there’s no wrong way through the heightened anxiety that comes from feeling trapped and stuck, sunken into the grooves we didn’t want to create in the first place.

I’m here to say, and I need to practice this as much as I preach it to be quite honest, we can shift this. We can quite literally fake it until we make it, we can plaster a smile until it learns to come itself, we can squint our vision until it looks out the same old windows we’ve been looking our for 365 days and sees something new. For here’s the secret: There is always something new. Our world changes two billion times a day in tiny ways, in ways that go unnoticed and under appreciated, we’re so busy looking beyond that we miss what’s right in front of us.
*
I know this isn’t easy, and as I said, I need to practice as much as I preach for I too get bogged down into wondering when life will go back to normal, but I think it’s valuable, and it’s worth the attempt. We need to find all the beauty that we possibly can while we can, for life is short, fleeting, and it can all go away in an instant. Take the time to see things as new once more, take the time to appreciate these beautiful moments. Fake it, if you must, until it comes natural, until your heart beats slow once more.

Peek out the window
marvel at the world below.
Everywhere is new.
