I have so much integrating n processing n writing to do archival work is a Spiritual exercise that requires endurance n grounding
but the last 5 weeks within @sainthilaire___ have Been deeply transformative for me as a fledgling graphomaniac leaning into writing community

as a Poet who writes for ghosts
