Isabel Lucas Instagram – Witnessing ‘world atrocities’ had me wanting to pull back from sharing here. The timing not feeling right. But I’m finding a new path which navigates holding the paradoxes. When life feels futile, depressing, hurtful and I have thoughts like ‘I don’t know if this will out’, I deliberately choose the mindset; ‘I am here. Let’s see how this works out…’ It could be applied to anything. I now feel the pain/challenge and match it with a commitment to create and embody more of what I wish to see. To bare, share and write my truth. Burn and brighten in collaboration. As beautiful @golfarahani recently reminded – ‘pain is nobel, suffering is not.’ May we explore our wise senses, imagining ourselves as a light summer rain even when the world is crying. . . @gritty_pretty
