THE GREAT IN BETWEEN
In mid January, I decided to (finally) kick off a year-long project called The Great In Between. In a nutshell, it’s an experiment in taking up space amidst the murky middle…
In-betweenness: it’s messy but meaningful. crucial and heart-stretching. it takes patience and trusting in an unknowingness. it involves looking, likely getting lost, and exploring possibilities. it deserves attention.
I’ve invited others to join in on this year-long project of exploring the in betweenness of it all. Each month, I’m sending a theme, a few journal prompts, and some simple things to notice. I’ve told participants: they can do all of it. They can do some of it. They don’t have to do any of it. They can do it for the month, dip in and out throughout the year, or just witness via monthly updates & reflections that I’ve been sending.
I also recently wrote how much I really miss my Tumblr from circa 2010. I miss my Wordpresses, and my blogspots where my grandmother’s could comment. Or call me and comment :)
I’ve been thinking a lot about creating communal spaces online where projects and reflections can unfold, and stories can be told. Substack? How do we feel about substacking?
Mulling it over. For now: I’m letting The Great In Between unfurl in inboxes and here on the betterish blog. It’s a total experiment. Join in at any moment that feels right for you.
p.s. here’s how it’s unfurled so far:
Summer: Relish coming soon
