This is the first of 3 pieces about my time as a student in New York City (the second one is here, and the third is here). Please note: sensitive content involving drugs and violence ahead.
Spectacularly written, Alicia. Whoosh. And I love the question of what lives beyond or underneath resilience. When I feel into that, it feels like some form of radical acceptance, a triumphant and total surrender, maybe. But I like leaving a question mark there, too, for whatever *is* in there to introduce itself with its own...what...gift of gnosis, maybe.
Thanks Tina, that means the world ☺️ I think about resilience all the time, it’s qualities and limitations, and the gorgeous but elusive Beyond. There are 2 more NYC mixtape pieces coming and they both speak to the subject as well. Peace be with you and much love ❤️
