Goodnight, friends.
I just went on a walk at dusk near my childhood library, and received this message from God, the universe, and the cold wind, in case it’s helpful for you, too: The answer you are seeking is going to come to you through your body. You cannot figure it out with your brain or even your eyes. It has to come through the pores in your skin.
This morning I found myself wishing I’d gone to a two year art school for grad school instead of a 4 year Evangelical seminary (which actually took me 8 years) so that I wouldn’t have school loans and trauma twenty years later. But then I remembered that every institution and system has dysfunction and I probably would have experienced trauma trying to be a writer in my 20s & 30s, too. It’s actually probably a blessing that I get to start sort of fresh in a new field now. I hope you’re all finding freshness and healing in your lives, too. Love, Jessica
Goodnight, friends.
Doo de doo, just finishing the last round of typesetting edits. Here’s a sneak peak at the beginning of the preface, which starts with one of my favorite poems, and the first chapter, which starts with a quote from my beloved Henri Nouwen. #thelongnight #TSEliot #thelovesongofjalfredprufrock #HenriNouwen
Goodnight, friends.
