I absolutely loved this post, so much so that I had to go back and write a comment. So much writing about the imaginal realms is sort of half way there already, but your post is so rooted in our everyday chaotic physical lives that I can see myself and my own sometimes chaotic life in it. It sort of clears a path between the imaginal and the life I have most of the time and your theory that being shut out from the imaginal is what brings stress and anxiety is really helpful. Kudos for this post!!
Isa! Thanks so much for reading -- I'm so glad it struck a chord. I think often feeling stranded in the chaos of the everyday is probably the unifying quality of human life at this point, so you are far from alone. And I don't think it needs to be a terminal condition! Really lovely to hear from you -- hope you've been well. xx
