She Will Not Be Quiet: A (mostly unedited) daily writing practice
Jotting from my journal: Day #117 of (mostly unedited) daily writing/sharing
Green Goodness
I stand in the kitchen chopping fresh kale, cucumber, green apples, ginger, celery, mint, lemon. Little by little, I feed each into the juicer, until there is a garden of gorgeous green— now, beneath the shade of the oaks, head lifted to the beaming, life-giving light that grew it all, I sip slowly, imagining that all of this fresh, sunshine-saturated goodness is kissing the virus inside, and outside of me, goodbye.

and outside of me, goodbye. "
I so appreciate the love and tenderness of this. So often, when we are unwell, it is easy to get impatient with our bodies--when they really need love the most. Thank you for this, Julia. I am sending all the love and healing wishes your way.
Related: my early-morning Julia-poem was "What I Really Need." "What I really need is to drink a glass of water slowly." Here's hoping (ardently, devoutly) that your healing measures toward yourself somehow ripple out & help in some small way to heal the world around us.
