{Earthing, aka grounding by making contact with the Earth's surface}
I have been finding poetry in an unexpected way, in beautiful words, in music and sometimes them combined with visual arts. They have been helping me find the emotional literacy to deeper thoughts and concepts. I am not always good with finding the words behind what I am feeling but through reading and researching, I am growing in this area. There isn’t a day that passes that I’m not grateful for this beautiful gift.
In trying to piece together who I am, I find myself holding onto everything I’ve ever loved. It’s like I’m searching through the fragments, hoping to uncover the parts of me that went missing along the way.
It’s not just about longing for the past, it’s a deeper quest for understanding and acceptance. Each piece I find, each memory or feeling I cling to, adds another layer to my identity.
What I’ve loved and lost isn’t gone but woven into the very fabric of my being. And perhaps, in embracing these pieces I can move closer to being whole again.
The thought doesn’t make me feel less unique but adds to who I am, showing me how these quiet connections help shape the real me.

This concept of {earthing} has helped me so much the past few years and walking in this world has been a big part of that and finding a way to creatively play in these spaces and finding beauty in the world around me.
Another thing that has been helping me lately is TaiChi, Swimming Dragon. I have been practicing twice a week since November and it’s helped me move slower and with more intention. We practice for an hour an a half at a time and it’s a strong practice, body and mind. I am usually exhasuted afterwards. I had no idea how beautiful and deep this practice is.
It has helped me manage my discomfort in the day to day nuances of life.
