You have been offered “the gift of crisis.” As Kathleen Norris reminds us, the Greek root of the word crisis is “to sift,” as in, to shake out the excesses and leave only what’s important. That’s what crises do. They shake things up until we are forced to hold on to only what matters most. The rest falls away.

Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
Meditations // Marcus Aurelius
I made a home out
of my own depression and
self-indulgent ways.
3AM Thoughts // AKA “Haiku 186.”
those who escape hell
however
never talk about
it
and nothing much
bothers them
after
that.
// Charles Bukowski
