Whew, yes. But I also think that sometimes, those winds of change will move us and we must surrender to being moved.

Oh Mariah. This entire piece is a psalm. Every line landed. These especially:

The definitions of weight as anchoring 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 exquisite.

When in depth, most times nothing seems trivial - as shared from my emotional experience.
