Grief Monster Realness/trying to keep up, or, ACIM Lesson 25: I do not know what anything is for., 2025

not-gold things & the weight of it all, the extraction and mining of _______, and then there is the dance of the heart, grace, precious porcelain things, how it feels to be alive, the experience of being alive, the aliveness of knowing that you are alive and that you will not be so forever, wood, plaster, plaster gauze, watches that make it look like you keep time while you are being kept by time, the hero’s journey, a song that makes your heart beat fast enough to make it feel like nothing can touch you, spray paint, love, the circle.
