SYMBOLISM THIS WEEK: I've been grieving. A few days ago I watched one of the most beautiful properties in this city get torn down. At least 10 mature trees… oaks, maple, magnolia, dogwood… some between 30 and 200 years old... GONE.
We are in Quincy, Massachusetts. The city of presidents. The ground where this country's origin story was shaped… where the arguments for revolution were made… where the roots of what became America ran deep.
LET THAT SINK IN
Last fall we just cut down these beautiful trees that made this property one of the most beautiful leaving nothing but dirt left ... no tree. no shrub. no flower. no grass left.
This week, watching that house fall felt like more than demolition. It felt like a mirror. For what we are dismantling right now. For what is being lost before we know how to grieve it. For the in-between world so many of us are standing inside of this week.
I made this video from that place.
What are you carrying right now? Does this resonate?
Chime in the comments. I want to hear from you.
And if you're ready to be held in the work… I have 1:1 session openings at the studio in Hingham, MA or on Zoom.
