Editor’s Note: Readers of Dark Matter may recall my friend and neighbor, Lynne McFarland. I shared some of her writing a while back (“Let’s Break Free”). Here’s a sampling still achingly relevant: “So here we are in Tennessee. Getting ready to set ourselves on fire, denying our wholeness, in the process of self-destruction, and hollering ‘yee-haw’ as we go down.” I love her voice. This is another instance of Lynne sharing a photo and a text on Facebook and me asking and receiving her permission to post it here. I urge you to meditate on the above image a little and then return to it after reading to the end. “Small meetings, tiny energy exchanges, and new syntheses.”
Thank you, David, for often “shaking the jar” of my own perceptions. I shared this piece over on Post.news, where I spend (or expend?) most of my online social interacting these days...hoping to see you over there on Post at some point.
Yes, David; Yes, Lynne; and yes, to your friend, Lynne. "We all need each other to lean on."* To share with, to reflect with, and to synthesize so much of the chaos that we experience inside us and all around us at times.
Thanks for shining your light on this element of increasing capacity for constructive dialog, David. I am curious about what is the organization and policy.
David, thank you for all the ways you provide context and shake things up!
Thank you for teaching me!
Good one.
"we get to carry each other..."
That's so good! thanks for sharing, may we all be open to self-analysis like that leading to new possibilities!

I am also curious.
I like the imagery of ‘shaking the jar’.
