So much of this resonated - the disenfranchised grief, the acts of service inclinations of the Greatest Generation, the power of small kindnesses in dark moments that might be less supported, the cPTSD memes. I do feel hopeful that the next generation is getting so much more exposure to and language for emotional fluency than we did growing up.
And thanks for the shoutout, just noticed that at the end! (I just learned that if you @ mention an author or blog it will ping them, but if you just link it won't).
Liz, thank you for the kind words, and for the tip on that feature! Just edited to @ you. It's always exciting to discover new ways in which folks in our generation can connect with each other, and can help others to feel connected, through our online root systems.

THIS. More and more of This.
(Re)Weaving the mycelial fabric of interdependent community is the living, breathing intention of many intentional acts of support and compassion.
This is the world most of us want to be a part of - thank you for elevating how impactful even seemingly ‘small’ actions can be.
I never have heard the term mother trees-very interesting and it definitely resonates. Thanks for sharing your words!
