If You’re Feeling Weary.
Lately... I've felt as tired as the last summer crops in the garden. Faded as the tomatoes. Lazy as the sound of late crickets, shifting registers as the night cools. Every year I wonder why I feel so weary during this season, and then I remember.... It's Long Summer.
The fifth season, or Long Summer as it's called in China, lasts the small handspan of time between the ending of August and the equinox of Fall. It is a time of the earth element. Of slowing down to embrace the quiet that comes with the last breath of heat, the calm that precedes the changing winds of Fall.
After a summer full of late nights and long days in the garden, seemingly endless output and fiery upheaval, Long Summer is a time to deeply shift the ways we've been operating. It's a moment to slow down. To stretch out like cats in this last patch of sunlight and soak in all the late nourishment of the season.
So if you've been feeling weary recently, embrace the invitation of this short season. Take a sacred pause for integration. Rest fully. Come back into balance. And find your footing again so you'll be rooted and ready for the winds of Autumn to begin.

this better become a Studio Ghibli movie or I’m gonna be really mad
i love speaking with people who are more intelligent in a certain field than i am, like it’s just great to sit back and listen to somebody educate you on shit they’re passionate about
questions men should ask themselves more often
- am i being unnecessarily forceful/loud?
- am i talking over others? are those others mostly women?
- why does this person feel like that? how can i acknowledge their feelings?
- does she seem comfortable around me? if not, why?
- am i devaluing women as a joke/when they make me angry? am i insulting women’s appearance and sanity whenever they make me angry?
- am i listening to other people’s knowledge/experiences or am i only talking about my own? how can i share my knowledge/experiences in a respectful way that doesn’t monopolize conversation or infantalize others (primarily women)?
