Hi, I’m Carie. I write for myself, and others, about navigating these times.
Everyone Needs More Rest (Three Acts)
It was a long work day. I’m exhausted. So I searched the old Google drive and found this. I do not think that I ever shared this, though I could be wrong.
Just this morning, I was thinking about how I feel like there’s very little that I know — less so with every passing moment. But this — this message of rest still holds true.
Above all, it made me feel something. Feeling is exactly what we’re all being asked to do.
Credit where credit is due
Thank God for all the miracles that allow me to live from this space.
For all who grieve
I keep this poem in my back pocket. For others, when I don’t know what to say. For myself, to remind me of just how dense grief truly is.
