Excerpt from "what is unveiled? the founding wound" by adrienne maree brown.

"things are not getting worse
they are getting uncovered
we must hold each other tight
and continue to pull back the veil
see: we, the body, we are the wounded place

we live on a resilient earth
where change is the only constant"

“What we choose to notice changes everything.”
This quote hits especially hard right now.
So much harm is sustained by inattention—by the moments we look away, minimize, or stay silent to feel safe.
Noticing is the first act of integrity.
It shifts how we show up with each other and the world.
