Slow down

Quick one today.

I’m tired.

As ever, it’s good to be here

In this place and time

1s and 0s somehow making meaning

We take a beat

Stick a pin in it

To get something down.

March has been a Lion.

A beast, new challenges on the daily.

But the moments, and time, and energy taken to write

even though I haven’t always gone there

Have helped me to process

Breathe.

Move through.

I’ve shared before that I don’t write for others

It’s a gift to my future self

but I’m grateful for company along the way.

  1. Oh friend, what a gift it has been to share this time and space with you! I understand that the month held more than a few extra challenges and you still made this a priority. “Breathe./ Move through.” Wise words for so many of us. Thank you, Darren.

  2. Beautiful post. You have a way with words. I love the comment about you haven’t always gone there. So true, but this public forum gets us started, and hopefully we are all there and honest when we’re alone then. I like your motivation for writing. Here’s to a great year ahead for you.
