Love how Jason Shulman describes the choice not to renounce engaging creatively in narrative-formation, but to

“weave” this great mystery “into narratives that expand — instead of limit — human possibility.”

May the necessary breaks we take from the weaving be in service of returning to it with wider-stretched hearts, and minds sharpened, not dulled by widening, so that wisediscernment + non-naivebenevolence guides the needle & thread to craft humanistic tapestries of meaning & motive that heal the pessimism, misanthropy, and self-abandonment at the core of the many narratives that offer reprieve when we are suffering, but limit our humanity drastically.
