And I can't really explain it.

It just feels like not real for show or for performance or something.

So the grieving and then the working, we don't get to abandon the work.

Whatever the work is for you is different for all of us.

But there has to be the work.

And then the work has to stop every day.

And then the dancing.

And whatever that is for us, whatever is the thing that brings us to life, whatever is the thing that reminds us that life is worth living, because if life isn't worth living or celebrating, then the grieving doesn't matter and the marching doesn't matter.

So the night, for me, this doesn't happen at night because I'm asleep, but this is a metaphor you see, so I can change the times.

But

The dance is the thing we hold on to so that we remember each morning why all of this matters and why to grieve and why to work.

And there's something about that holy trinity of grieve, work, dance that I think is the way forward.

We cannot work our way through this.

Like, good luck.

It has to stop every day.

Like, it has to be something...

that is done each day.

And by the way, the work doesn't mean you're marching.

Whatever the work is for you is that.

But I feel like, for me, I have to really do all of those things every day in simple ways.
