The edge against thinking about and putting words around fatigue was real. The more I thought about it, the closer I was to giving up. Why write about something that’s obvious and many of us are tired of hearing about? And yet, it was a voice that wanted to emerge and be expressed. Now. In this moment, On June 3rd, 2025. What a year it has been so far. For each of us, for the groups we belong to, for the world. Challenging, changing, unfolding, uncertain. The expressions are unique, and my sense it that there is a general layer of fatigue from the frantic speed and grind individually and collectively.

Change has always been there in our lives, and the quality of change now is different – almost like a lightning – and speed now. As we go about our days there the layer of fotigue seems to thicken and has the potential to become life a fog. This comparison resonates a lot for me. And I know the fog can lift with presence and connection. Choosing presence and connection seems so simple and can be incredibly challenging. As I’m writing I’m feeling the gray scales of a fatigue in my world remembering so many conversations in the last weeks and months. And I’m curious about what fatigue brings (is it protecting?) and even more so about what’s beyond it. Can it be aliveness and true expression?
