Our Latest Grams

The anger, frustration, bafflement, fear. Sharing a reminder to check in with yourself today. Take big breaths. Go slow. And be safe. Art from @tinypricksproject and @linguafrancanyc

So delicate, desperate, fleeting is a moment. To savor a sweet caress, the graze of a cheek, the curled fingers of a child around your own, an understanding in a look. Careening and crushed by the swirling stories of devastation from friends, online, the news, the endless war and suffering of two sides, more similar than different despite religion, race, language. What good comes of choosing sides if it means there is not peace for all; if there is suffering for any child, grandmother, brother?

Today I got into a car and the driver told me he hadn’t seen his children in two years. He said goodbye and went to work one day, and by early evening the Taliban had taken over and he wasn’t able to return home. He was forced to leave behind two babies, his wife, parents, sisters, brothers, community, life.

We know what it means to love, someone or something. We can all imagine loss, though perhaps certainly not to the degree of those in Israel and Palestinians in Gaza. Hate and violence only begets further anguish. May we stand together, arm in arm, as a single force for humanity.

This stunning production, though entirely unrelated to the subject of this caption, felt like it captures what it feels like to exist during this time. Perpetually reeling, yet trying to find grace. The man I spoke with earlier said to me as I cried in his car, “It’s just life.”

Ever inspired by @ioegreer’s way of capturing the world around, where every moment is a dreamscape; his photos in India though—like this sunrise in Delhi—are particularly captivating and a wonderful reminder that there is so much beauty in the day-to-day. Thinking back to visiting India—it remains one of the most dually vibrant and grounding places I’ve ever visited.

A SHOCKING step backwards today. Sharing info and resources in stories. We have to take action or lose everything—including for some of us, our lives. Photo: @meldcole

Join us this Wednesday, October 20th at 5pm PST for a 20 minute meditation with live music from @ndnlifestylist and @_tauwoo of @bewithresonance. The event will be hosted by @whereiswana, who will also share a bit of her story as a daughter to Afghan refugees. 100% of ticket sales will be donated to @enabledchildren, which serves orphaned and abandoned children with disabilities in Afghanistan. RSVP at the link in bio.

In August, the Taliban regained control of Kabul following President Biden’s abrupt withdrawal of American troops. The country is now in economic and political turmoil as the new regime organizes itself, and women and minority groups fear the civil rights restrictions that will inevitably be enacted by the Taliban.

“If you inherently long for something, become it

“If you inherently long for something, become it first. If you want gardens, become the gardener. If you want love, embody love. If you want mental stimulation, change the conversation. If you want peace, exude calmness. If you want to fill your world with artists, begin to paint. If you want to be valued, respect your own time. If you want to live ecstatically, find the ecstasy within yourself. This is how to draw it in, day by day, inch by inch.” -Victoria Erickson // Photo: @themagdalenaexperience

Stepping back into the limelight. It’s been a while since we’ve last posted and honestly the pressure to keep up with the grind just didn’t make sense unless there was something truly meaningful to share. On a platform where sometimes it feels like people are always yelling, it was nice just to leave space; and then share in stories when there was something compelling, inspiring, or funny.

The concept of space has been top of mind lately tying into so many different channels—holding space for others; creating and connecting to our own mental and physical realms; the distances between people in intimacy, understanding, acceptance, and disparity; and the gap between inspiration and burnout. In a time of incredible instability, our realities are tilting and cracking. In our own self-discovery, we’ve been honing in on that space in between breaking and mending—that terrifyingly special place of becoming something new, something better.
