“As it happens…
People, including friends, family, colleagues, strangers, public figures, unknown faraway people, intimate and up close people… All of us are contorting in the various pinches & punches of this era. History has made us all crooked trees. People are acting weird. They talk too much, they lie, they are obsessed with irrational ideas, they are high on hubris, and/or writhing in inner despair. It comes out as off, unacceptable, unlove-able… Behavior, like this, we are told, one should ‘set boundaries’ to.
But this is a time of difficult & confused. It is necessary to freak out & freak in - in order to unravel existing cultures & systems that have framed identity. This is the rotting time, the composting of old obligations, patterns, ideas.
I believe that the cadence of the future, the tone, the temperament, the atmosphere…is set right now in how warm we are with each other as we get weird and difficult.
Everything depends upon this warmth.”
