Hello, Friends!
Looking through some old files on my computer I found a few long-forgotten project starts. One was called, Becoming Indomitable.
in the seam between
brooding sea and starless sky,
hope searches for me
Becoming Indomitable was a list of over 100 things you can do to build resilience that were more concrete than insipid advice like, “Look for silver linings” or “Try and think positive thoughts”.
I wrote the list back in 2019 during my battle with kidney cancer with the thought of making a series of essays focusing on things like crying, laughing, and screaming in your car.
That trip down memory lane triggered the arrival of today’s haiku comic.
I don’t know what you are going through. I do know that sometimes the idea of having hope feels too heavy to carry.
That’s okay.
Just know that even if you can’t hold onto hope right now, hope is out there looking for you. You will find each other when it’s time.
I may still make some kind of project out of that indomitable list, but today I just want to remind you that hope has your back.
Be the poetry you want to see in the world!
Cheers,
Jason
Thank you!
Great haiku!
