Kimia, I enjoyed reading your ruminations on creativity! Needless to say, I love the metaphorical depths and width of the spider web and the weaving process :)

I have had this understanding with me since I was a teenager: ideas that I do not fulfill die inside me. They spark for a little bit of time and then, if I do not tend to them, they go out. When I look at my ideas this way, I am reminded that most of all I do not want to be a walking graveyard of unexpressed, unfulfilled creative impulses.

I love this so much. Sometimes it was like reading my self because of how much I’m feeling all of this right now and practicing the same! Did you know spiders are the “animal totem” for writers? 💖

V happy it’s resonating 💫🙏🏼 and I love that we’ve been on the same frequency + creative path, it’s such a beautiful and encouraging thing!

Re: spiders, oooh yes. You’ve just reminded me how badly I need to dig my Animal Spirit oracle deck out of storage! I think Kim Krans references this. Makes perfect sense 🕷️

I had a similar “slow growth epiphany” a few years back when I was first learning how to live with MS. I listened to José González’s song Slow Moves a lot during that time. It became like a prayer for me.

Also, all the spider bits in this were so good.
