The Light Within the Shadow
The Week I Discovered Jencraft. This week began with too much. Too much grief. Too much responsibility. Too many truths. Too many things requiring something from me while I was already carrying more than I had ever carried before. I am grieving and I am happy. I am profoundly capable and profoundly tired. I can carry enormous responsibility and still wish someone would carry something for me. I am deeply independent and still desire care. I can know exactly who I am while sometimes only being able to access pieces of myself. I have become practiced at Triality—at holding apparently contradictory truths without requiring one to defeat the other. But this week, there were so many truths that even my trembling hand struggled to contain them. Because this wasn’t ordinary overwhelm. The problem wasn’t that my tools had stopped working. I needed different tools.
