31. Reclaiming the Lost Art of Sensuality
After poet Andrea Gibson passed away this week, I realized that poetry and sensuality are deeply intertwined. Both require "masterful sensitivity" and the courage to feel everything, including pain. I believe most people don't realize they're poets, and by tuning into all nine of our senses (not just the basic five,) we can live more sensually and honor the brief, beautiful time

The sentiment "everybody wants a village but no one is willing to be a better villager" is going around the internet right now (if you know the OG source, lmk.

Whatever it is, they've got ulterior motives.
