I just finished listening to the hauntingly beautiful novel, Floating Under Water, by @tracyshawn.bsky.social on audible. This poignant story inspires one to embrace our gifts and explore spiritual pathways to heal. Thank you!

Gratitude for Artists:

Paint a collar around the moon
Something to hang our dreams on
Sing about defying the quicksand of helplessness
Something to open our hearts
Write a story on wakefulness lighting up the world
Something to spark our hope
