I’ve been leaning hard for some time now into the power of trust. As a recovering control freak, you can imagine this has taken some effort. Trust has many meanings, but I’m referring to the hope, the confidence without fear, the belief that even the things beyond our control - especially the things beyond our control- will often work out far better than we can even imagine.
On this day- the whole valley awoke without power and these beautiful humans carried on. Ladies styled their hair at tailgate plugins, generators charged a lineup of devices from coffee makers to portable speakers, and chefs prepped the evening dinner by headlamp.
Again and again I am reminded that we can replace the despair of “why is this happening?!” with wonder, awe, and a curious “what can I take away from this?”
There is beauty in Every. Single. Story.
We don’t need to curate everything- it’s all being curated for us.
