The First Sunset
Short and sweet today:
Last Friday my brother shared this as part of a “Friday meme dump”:
LOL, but also hmm.
When is a meme not just a meme? Whenever I get ahold of it!
That foreboding feeling when seeing a sky ablaze with fiery light gave way to something else when the person woke up the next morning and realized that they survived a frightening looking brand-new thing. And over time, what started as “this ain’t good” simply became the natural order of things, and even a source for awe and reflection.
This time in human history has been terrible in a lot of ways. I doubt any of us will look fondly upon it.
But consider for a moment the things that you now know how to do (imperfectly, maybe reluctantly) that you didn’t know how to do two years ago. Consider the things that used to scare you that you now do without fear, maybe even without a second thought.
It’s remarkable. You’re remarkable.
That is all.

Relatedly (I think), I wrote bout the commitment of showing up last Friday in my newsletter.
Steady on.
