Literature is a way of letting you think through big ideas. Otherwise you would go mad thinking of them on your own. The author makes the exploration of these ideas be a resplendent journey. So that you can ask the most difficult questions.

Best books about grief and grieving? Not self-help/pop psych stuff. Classics. Poets. Essays. Would especially love anything that lets history and politics in or considers grief over the loss of ideals/ideas as well as individuals.

@bronwentate @hmvanderhart @OfPoetryPodcast it was such fun!

[kimberley orton @ki9]

Who am I kidding. I’m already exhausted watching people dance from a block away, and my head is killing me. It was a nice thought. New self care: sleep.

[kimberley orton @ki9]

I’m at a hoedown, and soon, I will sit on a hay bale to watch Great Lake Swimmers. If that’s not self care, I don’t know what is.
