Continuing to Move

It's been a weird time to be Dewy lately. Between moving out and the upcoming child that can be here any day, everything else in life (such as creative ventures) has been on hold for about a month. Heck, I even missed posting something here last week (I believe for the first time since the blog's inception just under two years ago). Between the lack of access to technology and urgency of the other things in life, I've really felt an internal hole that comes from not creating.

Pictured: A photo from uptown Manhattan, which is now where I reside. Still have quick access to Dewy Circle though.

But I finally have my laptop back and working, so that's something. I have quite the backlog of things to get to. Between a review of a theological journal to more poetry on the existential woes and joys of life, it's going to be quite something juggling these ventures with a baby. But I have faith that it will be done.

In times like these, a stanza from Fear of the Future keeps coming to mind (yes I do quote my own poetry to myself). I wrote that poem shortly after I was fired/set free from traditional employment. But it feels especially relevant right now.

Don't be afraid of your future

with all its joy and glee.

It's a mandatory prerequisite

for you to call yourself "me."

It truly does just get better from here. There will certainly be new challenges on the way. But, just as certainly, there will be extraordinary things to come.

And just knowing that makes things better.
