Jun 1 – Jun 8, 2026“The Morning After”The heavy weeks pass. What's left is the small, the ordinary, the dishes. This week we practice re-entering our own lives, slowly, on purpose.74 responses
May 25 – Jun 1, 2026“What We Carry”The week opens on a day for the dead. We listen for the ones who are gone, and notice what we are still walking around with: their phrases, their gestures, the unfinished sentence.140 responses
May 18 – May 25, 2026“Hunger”Late spring opens an appetite. This week we name what we want, without polishing it, without apologizing, and notice what we have been calling by other names.215 responses
May 11 – May 18, 2026“The Full Flower Moon”The May moon is full; the world is opening. This week we practice being seen — whether or not we gave permission.208 responses
May 4 – May 11, 2026“Mother Tongue”A week that ends on Mother's Day. Mothers, grandmothers, the women whose hands wrote your hands. What you inherited, and what you will pass on.191 responses
Apr 27 – May 4, 2026“The Body Knows”The body has been the one in the room. This week we listen downward — to what it has been trying to say while we were busy with everything else.258 responses
Apr 20 – Apr 27, 2026“Ordinary Gods”Attention is where love actually lives. This week we practice looking longer — at the room, the stranger, the thing we keep walking past.356 responses
Apr 13 – Apr 20, 2026“The Thaw”A spring orbit. Something is loosening. This week we turn toward what is coming back, and what we are finally ready to let come back.268 responses
