I don't know, buddy, I think you just need to focus

"I contain multitudes." "I am nobdy, who are you?" American poetry starts with an extrovert and an introvert saying the same thing: we're everything; we're nothing. Modern trauma therapies like IFS also teach us what we've always known about the self: we are what we leave behind. Living has always been grief work.

Thousands of pilgrims walk the Camino de Santiago across Spain every year. They're told to bring a stone from home with them, to carry it five hundred miles. They don't yet know the point is to leave it behind, early, under an iron cross in the countryside, adding to a meters-high mountain of human grief and loss. The point is to grieve together, and to keep going.

Living has always been choosing what to leave. Text us what you want let go of and watch it fall from the throne: +1 415-598-5687
