I joined last week. I haven’t done much of anything I consider creative since August…the two hurricanes in Florida crushed me, physically and mentally. I’ve somehow been in a BIG flare up of chronic pain since then, with minimal relief. We are moving to another state (not because of hurricanes, just bad timing, I suppose. My house sold yesterday and my stuff is getting packed in a POD for a move to North Carolina, where I don’t even have a house yet. Sounds crazy, right? Well, this is why I joined. I need that hour, I need something to look forward to, that will bring me joy. I was in the midst of starting a small business with my art and it just completely drifted away these last 3 months, due to pain and the move. Life happens. I’m trying to stay supple, to find the gentle flow not the rapids happening for me right now. I need a community. I don’t know you Mansi, but I saw some lesson you taught several years ago, and I am just drawn to this right now.
I am so sorry to hear of all the challenges you’re facing right now. I haven’t experienced the wrath of nature but I know what flare ups look like. I know how impossible it feels to get on with our days. I know how lonely it is. I’ve tried to turn my pain into a creative offering and I am more than humbled that you have trusted it will offer you some respite. The Ripple Room will be our sanctuary and I look forward to us spending time there together … we’ll try to swim on the sides sheltered from the chaos of the murky middle. Sending you so much love and many hugs ❤️
