Thank you, Petra, for what reads as a homily, tightly written, tightly observed. If I may add another p-word to your stack: poignant as we seem on the verge of launching a Holy Week invasion of Iran that will surely cause many deaths, dismemberments, injuries, and anguish, not to mention economic warfare and catastrophe.
Your essays are crafted and thought-out so much more than “the Persian excursion.”
This has prompted me to do the same. I feel so anxious now with social media that I think I just need to delete-which will give me my pause and hopeful reset. Happy, peaceful Easter ❤️
This is the perfect post for these times. I am always asking where and how to find meaning and grounding in a world full of chaos and contradictions. Sigh.
Yes to all of this. Thank you Petra. It’s so hard to focus and I’ve been finding it harder to write, but I’m determined to keep showing up. Take care.
Thank you, Margaret. Showing up is half the battle!

I wish you had less material to sculpt.
Thanks, Rick!

No Gods protest! Sign me up. Enjoy the pause, springtime calls and there’s no better way to celebrate it than offline. 💚🌸
Absolutely! Thank you, Kimberly. See you in NYC soon!

I feel exactly the same Petra, I keep burying my head in the sand, it’s all hard to deal with. Xx
Happy Easter to you Petra, I think many of us can relate. Enjoy the pause/paws.
Thanks so much, Sharon, and for the restack. Happy Easter to you too!
The pause is over now but the paws are forever 🐾💛
Lovely to read this Petra. Peace to you x
And to you 🤍
Sad, wise words and observations. Have a good, disconnected week, Petra.
Thank you, Jen.
Amen to this, Petra! Woke early and reading as I listen to birdsong.
How lovely. Paying attention to the simple things we so often overlook or disregard is nurturing to the soul. Thanks for commenting, Wendy.
Beautifully put. Pause. Paws. Peace. Pray.
Yes. That last word especially.
Dogs are the best. Hegseth is the worst. (a poem)
So good and SO true!
If there are no dogs in heaven, I'm not going.
