Friends,
It’s day 30. The month is almost over.
I hope that you’ve been learning a lot about yourselves in this space, finding room to open up, to hold care in a really difficult and heavy world.
I invite you to share The Liminality Journal with friends who might enjoy this community.
Thank you to everyone who has bought me a cup of coffee this month! Every penny helps and reminds me why I do this work in community. If you’d like to buy me a cuppa, you can click the link below:
And now, onto our word today: dose.
I line up my spiritual practices like a set of pills, take note of the doses of each, and what they do for me: a life marked by tender awareness, longing to be healed and to heal, to move in and out of time carrying this sacred medicine with me.
Writing the Wild is an 8-month interactive writing journey guided by Krissy Kludt and J. Drew Lanham. Blending virtual gatherings and tactile-sensory learning packages sent by mail, the program offers writers a multidimensional experience to deepen creative intimacy with their human and more than human kin.
Early application due date: 6/2
Application/scholarship application due date: 6/14




I lashed out the other day
Not knowing why
It’s not the first time I lost my damn mind
That moment will be remembered by all
I have tried by myself for months
To control it
It’s like the problem got bigger
I called my therapist today
She say It’s time for a change
I picked up a new script
She said start this today
No more acting like it ok
No more pretending it didn’t happen
No more hiding the pain
I take this new dose
It took a few weeks
No more lashing out
No more uncontrolled behavior
Less screaming
More listening
Man I’m so proud of me
That one call
That one change
Took me to a more happy and calm place
The tincture of time,
my nursing instructor said,
was the very best dose,
instead of reaching for a med.
Whether we are sick from an illness
or sick from the thoughts in our head.
Turning inward, giving grace,
finding the right space or looking to be lead…
Time may be all you need to find your way back to peace.
