poem: turbulence invites intention
Another poem, “turbulence invites intention,” describes what I mean in finding words. As I have shared, my anxiety is part of the turbulence.
Another poem that I wrote last spring, “turbulence invites intention,” describes a little about what I mean in finding words. It references two of my attempts, which I shared in a different post (writing about monsters when you don't have the words), and a little more about myself. As I have shared, my anxiety is part of the turbulence. It can change and create change, repeatedly.
turbulence invites intentiontrying to find words to share what is in my brain but hard to put together but i am finding ways on twitter now as x i found I could write “i want to write about…” and follow it with what I wanted to share and while few engaged with me at least i could try to put something out there i started with monsters and i started with poetry and i only did it a few times but realize how it was about truth that when I wrote earlier today about running from f--- it flowed like water in a river the ease of truth like truth helps me to cry when otherwise i close it down to protect myself still left over it seems from when my brain was too afraid i would drown in the river of tears and water is always a presence i found a name for myself a few days ago though i can’t find spelling but i remember it’s like ocean which feels like a place for me
I didn’t know then how relevant “turbulence invites reflection” would be to the idea of water thoughts, though I’ve always known that I’m deeply connected to the water and the land. I think it is important for me to share that this connection is related for me both to my settler-occupier ancestors and to the privilege related to where I spent my childhood and how my family spent time outdoors.
And I never did remember the name I'd created, so I created another, or thought I had until I realized I hadn't, a name at least for now, it's like the sea, instead of the ocean, to me at least, and I appreciate that there's no solid boundary between these, and it starts to do other things for me that I also appreciate.
Thank you for reading.
