There will be times when the world seems really screwed up

There will be times when you don’t want to.

There will be times when it feels like too much.

There will be times when you think that there’s nothing there.

There will be times that you’re distracted.

There will be times when things seem pointless, hopeless and generally just devastating.

There will be times that are unnerving.

There will be times when jokes ring hollow and smiles are scarce.

There will be times when showing up to parent, do your job, be a spouse or just simply exist in the world, will seem almost impossible.

When nothing makes sense,

Where to begin?

What to do?

Connect to your senses

Find some beauty.

Find some warmth.

Find a sensation that’s soothing.

Find the love.

Find some peace.
