laramie at 12:46pm on 01/09/2020The other day I made a partial list of my never-ending monster list of creative projects.
For a long time now I've felt overwhelmed by the list, and now that I'm seeing it in more perspective, it's apparent that it's not *just* the list. It's the list *plus* the continuing round of Infrastructure Maintenance Procedures (daily upkeep, women's work: cleaning, shopping, cooking, laundry and other errands) PLUS the growing sense of urgency about saving the world from pandemic, civil unrest, a growing fascistic threat and climate crisis. How can I focus on creative projects when the world is on fire?
No the heck wonder I've been feeling overwhelmed. Who *doesn't* feel overwhelmed? What is your secret?
