“There is a reason why you are called to go deeper and away from this moment’s worries about productivity and efficiency.
There is a reason why you are called to remember and be alone with your tears and sorrow over what is recalled or what can no longer be accessed no matter how much you try.
There is a reason why you must continue to be burdened by the weight of a History that is not yet undone and continues to wreak havoc.
There is a reason why you must continue to give permission to your solitary journey of rediscovery and meaning-making.
Never mind that you are not able to write about this now. It is being written in your body.
The love will sustain you.”

I am a queer, nonbinary therapist of color, continuing a family tradition of four generations serving communities as healers and caregivers.
