O daughter of the womb—who is not afraid of the sky, of herself—you inspire me do/make something in response to your night walk naked in the forest. Ekphrastic motion, action, forest-knows-what. I’d taken a break from my WIP and there was your essay calling me to step closer to the real and mystic. Thank you.
I finally got back to reading the posts I missed when I couldn’t focus because of a concussion and I get to this. I LOVE it! There are certain places we go and seasons that make me want to take my clothes off and just be in the air. I understand, if not your particular need, the freedom of it. And I applaud your willingness to embody it. Wild women, women who run as the wolves, women of the night!
I love that you write gorgeous poetry that takes my breath away, and also phrases like ‘moonlit meat bag’. ❤️
lololol this made my day
A holy madness. Why not?

SAD GIRL SUMMER. Hey Siri, play Summertime Sadness.
The floor of my shower is almost as good as my therapist’s office 🙃

This is so beautiful Sylvia. Thank you for the way you come full bodied to everything you read. It really inspires me to do the same.
Adore.
We still need to forage together
That would be a dream come true.

Beautiful - I feel like you've got that she-wolf effect nailed, no running required!
