It can be hard to know what to say when there is to much you want to scream. I have stayed in my fictional universe of my book for the past few months. It is easier there. I am in control. My characters aren’t in any less of a mess, though. Every day, I work on my book and its sequel and try not to get pulled too far into the third book and I… survive. I've written tens of thousands of words and gone through countless drafts. I don't have many more answers than I started with. That's okay. It's enough. There is much I have wanted to blog about, things that are going on in the world, much-needed conversations many are having, but it’s been enough to hear and read about it and process it on my own. I hope I find the words with time. Until then, I want to share some of the art I have been working on this spring and summer.

sea glass in the sun a place a breath out of time feel the roar the rhythm hear the voices of souls lost to the ocean so long ago it has become their home sink your toes into the sand dig your fingers in brace yourself the cold will hit and it will shock your system to its core it will run fingers you can't catch along your skin to say hello the only way it can water liquid ice caught by time for a moment Paused. Photo source uncertain due to the abundance of reposts. I believe it was originally uploaded by @pennyyfanee on Tumblr years ago. I found it reposted to Instagram with comments on @bosoftumblr.

If you listen to it on Spotify, "If The Earth Could Sing," let me know how it makes you feel. I created this collage* to express how it affects me.
One song in the playlist really got in my head. The more I listened to it, the more I have found "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" by the Florence + The Machine to be incredibly haunting. This is a gift |
Jeffery Bien tweeted, "I just want everyone to know that my two-year old insisted on being 'pants' for Halloween..." and later clarified, "If you're curious, he requested that my wife be 'a big shirt' and I 'a purple hat' and we complied because we love him very much/ don't know how to say no yet."

Tik Tok got more popular and produced videos such as this one:
Of course, I can't leave out baby yoda. Only, like, two people have actually watched "The Maldorian," and yet, somehow, it's taken over the internet. It's wonderful. I like this one especially.

A paradigm is not just an idea or a method. A paradigm is a set of fundamental assumptions or principles, a mindset or frame of reference that shapes how one thinks about and talks about a given subject. A paradigm shapes the ways in which one interprets information, and determines what sort of questions one asks and how one asks them. A paradigm is a lens through which one views reality.
Substantial change for the better will only come from abandoning the pathology paradigm and making the shift to the neurodiversity paradigm.
