So anyway, I’m doing better mentally lately. Able to accomplish basic tasks. Put up this photo hanger today.

It sounds like you've been going through hard times for a long time and that absolutely breaks my heart. You deserve the world. A world made of yarn, in fact.

Take care of yourself, use Tumblr for fun planty business, and absolutely don't worry about a silly message when you have more on your plate. I'm happily here regardless. ❤️

Did you summon this? I’m creating an entire world of yarn over here as I organize my stash, and then I see your message. 😂

Thank you for such a sweet message, it really touched me. I’m getting better day by day, and finally getting the help I need, so that’s a big win. Take care of yourself too, and I’ll still be here also. 💕

Still meaning to answer…just been going through personal stuff…didn’t mean to ignore at all. ❤️

I hope you're doing well and taking care of yourself.

I hope you are also! I’m doing really well right now - had some rough patches recently which is why I’ve been MIA, but I think I’ve come out of it. I just want you to know I’ve been thinking of you (apologies if you’re not who I think you are) and I still mean to write you back on the other message. ☺️

One time my rabbi told us, “imagine you had a box with a little bit of god in it. What would you do with the box?”

So we were like ?? “We’d protect it and keep it nice and clean and polished” and he was like “your body’s that box. Stop eating markers”

If it isn't too burdensome, I'd like to ask you to be an oracle again:

In my dream, there was a mountain. I had never climbed this mountain, and I was listless and weary in my life. A friend of mine who always recognizes my growing physical and spiritual strength invited me on a hike. Shocking myself, I accepted.

We embarked quickly on with a trip, accompanied by 10 other men. My calves were aching as we climbed an embankment. There was a wide, slow river circling around an island of lilies and daffodils on a bed of grass. It seemed as of the sycamores and valley oaks (which did not belong at this altitude) were pushing me into the water, so I submerged myself. I found a kind of dungeon underneath it. Low-poly water and rock surrounded me as I walked the river floor, geometry immediately not making any sense. Wasn't I under the island?

I found a house in there. It appeared that I entered in through the attic, so I kept descending. There were vittles and objects I found that would help me survive, so I kept digging through the abandoned place level after level. At what appeared to be a basement, I opened a door that led into darkness. Shining my flashlight, I made out a spiral staircase descending at least three more stories. I plotted this out in my mind's eye and realized that those stairs led lower than I had climbed on the mountain itself, beneath the earth. I ran as fast as I could, but couldn't escape the thought.

After a loose series of episodes (hiking friends getting married after their venue flooded, visions of the apocalypse, helping some tweens escape from the underwater area that led to my house, the bizarre removal of walls and my whiteboard to be replaced with windows), I attempted to begin the hike again. And again. I decided I wanted to return to the house, to find out what was beneath it--I knew I was strong enough, that no impossible thing could kill me. But by now the mountain had changed. Two co-workers accompanied me now. Spiders would bite; I had to set a leopard on fire; I ran barefoot through rock and ice in a glacial cavern until emerging into a riverslide where I saw a dragon. I survived its bombardments and reached a small grotto where I learned that, 15 layers up, I was only halfway.

Happy to! I'm reading this and just kind of sitting with it for a while. I want to try really seeing it as much as I can and waiting for things about it to start speaking to me. In the meantime though, I'm really curious about this part:

A friend of mine who always recognizes my growing physical and spiritual strength invited me on a hike.

Can you tell me anything else about this person? They're important.
