Five things I learned from my trip to Colorado and the time spent with my brother:
It is what it is.
Some bonds are not so easily torn apart by distance, quite the opposite. They may change and adapt to new circumstances, but true connections are not lost in the miles between us and our loved ones.
If one pays close attention to a neurodivergent person’s info dump–the passion animating their words–eventually their soul will reveal itself to you. Be kind and stay curious.
The webs we weave are of our own design. We must be conscious of the strands we choose to incorporate into the tapestry of our lives.
Light and shadow are inseparable. In learning to balance such duality, we open ourselves up to the full range of the human experience from a place of beauty and connection.
“Strand is our newest foray into Darkness. As I understand it now, it is the elemental manifestation of psychic connection. All minds are connected in a web of consciousness, which we can now see and feel. To wield Strand is to pull on the hidden connecting threads, and to use them to create, manipulate, and unravel. . . mastering Strand seems to require one to relinquish control. To embrace the connecting threads, and perhaps flow WITH them.”
