"Being present for others (humans, plants, animals) is deeply important to me. It’s something that is necessary in order to sustain life; our bodies depend on such acts of consistency and attention, and none of us are truly self-sufficient. In order for life to be sustainable, though, we also need to know when and how to let go. When to ask for help, when to recognize that we can’t go on in the same way and our promises are in need of adjustments."
i love and needed this reminder on showing up. the distinction between loyalty and intimacy is so sharp - one I was raised on, and the latter I am growing into. exactly as you said, for myself, my people, and the land. tysm <3
