Existentially Amused

(Listen to this essay in my own voice above.)

At drop-off one morning at nature school, the children were gathered near the edge of the parking lot, greeting one another before heading into the park.

Violet looked up, spotted Emma, and said,

“Emma! I missed you.”

Then she gave her the biggest hug.

I smiled because it wasn’t unusual.

If Emma misses school, one of her friends will usually ask where she is. Her best friends are always asking for playdates. At the end of the day, they’ll often exchange big bear hugs before heading home. Watching them, I’m reminded that even at five years old, friendships can run surprisingly deep.

My husband had asked me recently what I thought Emma would be when she grew up.

I don’t know.

The last time I asked her, she wanted to be a baker. At various points, she’s also wanted to be a veterinarian and a rock star. Right now, if I had to place a bet, maybe baker-slash-entrepreneur.

But she’s five.

We’ll see.

And then I started wondering if we’ve been asking the wrong question.

The question assumes that a child’s contribution is waiting somewhere in the future. That their meaningful life begins once they have a career, a title, or a paycheck.

Yet there was my daughter, five years old, already changing the emotional landscape around her.

She doesn’t have a résumé.

She doesn’t have a profession.

She doesn’t have a single accomplishment society would celebrate.

But she already has a friend who misses her.

School can feel like a big place when you’re little. You’re away from your parents, surrounded by new experiences, trying to figure out where you belong. Having someone who’s genuinely excited to see you each morning matters. Having a familiar face—someone who asks where you’ve been, wants to play with you, or wraps you in a bear hug before heading home—matters.

Those moments don’t make headlines.

They don’t earn promotions.

They don’t appear on college applications.

But they shape the world all the same.

A few days later, I watched an interview with Emily Blunt. She was asked who had transformed her life the most. You might expect her to say her husband, John Krasinski. Instead, she said it was her children.

That answer stayed with me.

Children don’t usually transform us because they’re trying to. They’re just being who they are. And somehow, in the process of loving them, they quietly rearrange the way we see the world.

They certainly have for me.

When I was younger, I thought success looked like a big career.

I don’t know if that was unique to my generation, but I know I wasn’t alone. We learned to dream in job titles. We imagined that one day we’d finally arrive—that we’d become someone.

Even now, one of the first questions we ask a stranger is:

“So, what do you do?”

It’s a practical question. But I’ve started wondering if it’s also an incomplete one.

A career tells me how someone earns a living.

It doesn’t tell me what lights them up.

It doesn’t tell me what they’re curious about.

It doesn’t tell me what they love doing when nobody is paying them to do it.

It doesn’t tell me whether they’re the kind of person who checks in when you’re struggling, makes everyone feel welcome, remembers the little things, or gives the best hugs.

It doesn’t really tell me who they are.

Maybe better questions are:

What lights you up?

What are you passionate about?

What are you curious about lately?

What kind of person do you want to be in this world?

Those questions seem to get closer to the human being underneath all the titles.

And maybe that’s part of what motherhood has changed in me.

These days, when I imagine Emma’s future, I honestly don’t spend much time wondering whether she’ll become a baker, a veterinarian, a rock star—or some combination of all three.

Sure, I hope she discovers her gifts. I hope she gets to cultivate them and share them. I hope whatever work she chooses brings her joy and allows her to contribute something meaningful to her community.

But more than anything, I wonder who she’ll be.

Will she be happy?

Will she know peace?

Will she stay curious?

Will she be kind?

Will she be the kind of person people are genuinely happy to see?

Those qualities may never earn awards.

But they might be the ones that matter most.

And maybe this isn’t just true for children.

Maybe it’s true for us, too.

Maybe we’ve spent too much of our lives believing that our real life starts after the next milestone.

After the degree.

The promotion.

The business.

The book.

The house.

The version of ourselves we’ve been chasing.

As if we’re all still waiting to become someone.

But what if we already are?

What if our influence isn’t something waiting for us at some imaginary threshold of adulthood, success, or achievement?

What if it’s happening right now?

In the way we greet someone.

In the way we make a friend feel safe.

In the way we show up for our families.

In the way we create, comfort, listen, laugh, include, love.

Maybe a meaningful life isn’t something we eventually arrive at.

Maybe we’re living it.

Watching Violet hug Emma that morning, I realized my daughter isn’t waiting to become someone who matters.

She already is.

And maybe the same has been true of us all along.

(Listen to this essay in my own voice above.)

Lately, I’ve been noticing something.

Human beings are kind of adorable.

I don’t mean all the time, and I don’t mean everyone. Life has taught me that boundaries matter. Some people are meant to be loved from a distance.

But the people I encounter in my little corner of the world…

They’re pretty wonderful.

I used to think of school drop-off as another thing to check off my list.

Get there on time.

Remember the water bottle.

Make sure the lunch made it into the backpack.

I’m not exactly a morning person.

Meanwhile, everyone else somehow seems fully awake, greeting each other with, “Buenos días!” and hugs.

It took me a while to realize I wasn’t just dropping my daughter off at school.

I was arriving at a little community.

One of Emma’s teachers might stop me to tell me something funny she said that morning.

Another hands me a craft she spent all day making.

Sometimes they’ll let me know she got a little boo-boo so I won’t be surprised when I see the Band-Aid.

They’re tiny updates.

But they never feel tiny to me.

They have a classroom full of children, yet they still remember something about mine.

They took the time to notice her.

As a mom, that means everything.

On Saturdays, I wander through the farmers market.

There’s an older gentleman who plays the xylophone.

He wears the same little hat, the same glasses, and somehow manages to make pop songs sound nostalgic.

I always clap.

Some people do.

Some people don’t.

I just like him to know someone was listening.

One of the vendors is from Tokyo.

Years ago, I lived in Kyoto, so every now and then we’ll talk about Japan.

Each week I seem to learn one small thing about them.

Nothing life-changing.

Just enough that, over time, they stop feeling like strangers.

The other day my chiropractor’s fiancée showed me videos from their trip to Italy.

Somewhere between admiring the little streets, laughing about how charming the Italian men were, and hearing about a glassblowing class, I realized I had completely forgotten why I’d walked in there in the first place.

I came for an adjustment.

I left having shared a conversation.

Those moments have started changing the way I move through the world.

I don’t think I need more best friends.

I don’t even think I need to put myself out there more.

I just don’t have to rush every interaction.

It’s okay to stay five extra minutes after pickup.

It’s okay to ask someone how their week has been—and actually care about the answer.

It’s okay to applaud the musician.

It’s okay to let familiar faces become part of the rhythm of your life.

Not everyone has to become part of your inner circle.

Sometimes it’s enough just to appreciate them.

To admire them a little.

To quietly wish them well.

Emma reminds me of this every day.

The other day I called her my little love bucket because that’s exactly what she is.

She’ll look at me completely out of nowhere and say,

“I love you.”

Five minutes later…

“I love you.”

Then again.

“I just love you.”

She never seems to get tired of saying it.

And somehow…

I never get tired of hearing it.

Sometimes I wonder why she says it so much.

Then I smile.

Maybe the universe is catching me up on all the “I love yous” I didn’t hear enough when I was little.

Maybe they were always meant to find me.

Just a little later.

Watching Emma has softened something in me.

Children seem to move through the world assuming people are worth smiling at.

Worth waving to.

Worth talking to.

Somewhere along the way, many of us lose a little bit of that.

We get hurt.

We get busy.

We build walls that once protected us…

and then forget to ask whether we still need them.

I’m not trying to become friends with everyone.

I’m just trying to stay open.

Open to a conversation.

Open to learning someone’s name.

Open to noticing what’s quietly beautiful about the people I already see every week.

Because the older I get, the more I think a good life isn’t only built by our closest relationships.

It’s also built by the familiar faces.

The teacher who remembers your child.

The musician who keeps showing up.

The vendor who remembers where you lived.

The mom you always end up talking to after pickup.

The people who slowly become part of the landscape of your life.

Maybe that’s what community is.

Not something you find.

Something that quietly grows while you’re busy living.

And maybe that’s why I’ve become so sentimental lately.

Because when I really pay attention…

human beings are kind of adorable.

I turned a poem into a song! It came to me in the middle of the night—one of those quiet moments where everything slows down just enough to hear something true. I was thinking about my body… about everything it has carried me through.Years of chronic pain. Moments of breaking. And now, what finally feels like a turning point—like I’m coming back into relationship with it.I had this realization that my body isn’t just something I live in… it’s a vessel. A kind of spaceship. Complex, intelligent, responsive—if I listen.So I wrote about it. And then I turned it into a song.(Maybe this is what happens when your mind wakes you up in the middle of the night and won’t let you go back to sleep.)Music has always been part of me.I grew up listening to everything—pretty eclectic—but I’ve always been drawn to artists who blur edges. Imogen Heap was a big one for me. There’s something about that experimental, layered sound that feels both emotional and expansive.Lately, I’ve found myself returning to that space—somewhere between electropop and dream pop. Probably influenced by all the years I spent traveling through Europe, where music always felt a little more atmospheric, a little more free.And then life shifted. I became a mother. Creativity went quiet for a while.But lately, something has been opening again.I’ve been deep in creation these past few months—writing, recording, following ideas as they come. Not really knowing where it’s leading, just trusting that it is.(This piece was originally a poem—and part of an experiment in translating my writing into sound.)“This body is a spaceship… and I’m finally learning how to live in it.”If you’d like, you can listen to the song above.If you listen, I’d love to know what you hear in it.This song feels like a return. A dedication to the body that never gave up on me—even when I wasn’t listening.And maybe more importantly— what has your body been trying to tell you lately?If you’re enjoying this space, you can subscribe, share, or simply follow along. I didn’t plan for this season of creativity… but I’m here for it.

(You can listen to this as an audio too. Just me, reading this out loud)

I wasn’t really sure what to post this week.

I have so many pieces,

and it was hard to choose.

And I’m a little on a time crunch—

my own creative time crunch—

trying to stay consistent and post every week.

Also… it’s my birthday tomorrow,

so if you feel like sending a little birthday love,

I’ll receive it.

But I chose this piece

because it feels like the mindset

I want to step into this year.

Just really celebrating

all the wins I already have,

all the blessings that are already here—

in a world that’s always chasing,

always wanting more,

always telling us to consume.

So thank you for being here.

At the beach,

I thought—

I’m rich.

And then it softened—

No,

we’re rich.

What took so long to see it?

The tide keeps arriving

with nothing to sell,

only everything to give.

The sun—still free.

The air—still ours.

The water—touching every shore

without asking who deserves it.

If we stayed here long enough,

with a little planning—

what would we reach for

that isn’t already here?

We have our bodies.

Our breath.

We have each other.

And even when no one is near,

we have ourselves.

Who told you

you weren’t rich?

Because as a child,

you had everything.

A paper and a pencil—enough.

Belly laughs—enough.

Throwing rocks into the water—enough.

Splashing puddles in your boots—enough.

Cuddling the ones you love—enough.

When everything

was enough.

You want to go buy something?

Do you really need

that new purse?

that new outfit?

that new thing to make you happy?

Sure—

maybe.

But don’t you also just want to sit in the sand,

feel the sun,

laugh,

doodle with your fingers,

dance in the car with your best friend?

Aren’t you already rich?

…aren’t you already rich, b***h?

People will say

you gotta work yourself to death.

Hustle till the end.

And by then—

your best days

might already be behind you.

But any billionaire—

any old billionaire—

would trade all that money

for your youth.

Not because youth is everything—

but because it’s this:

Can you still giggle?

Can you still crack a joke?

Can you still dance for no reason?

Can you give a really good bear hug?

That’s rich.

That’s real rich.

And you know this—

neuroplasticity.

Your brain learns

what you tell it.

So if you start telling yourself

you’re rich—

your mind believes it.

Your body follows.

What you repeat matters.

Because the more you notice

what you already have—

the more it starts to feel

true.

So don’t let anyone convince you

you need something outside of yourself

to feel good.

You were a child once.

You know this.

Just remember—

your joy

is the richest experience

you can have.

Don’t let anyone swipe that away from you.

Kids know this.

They find joy

in anything,

in everything.

Just go back to the basics.

And if you don’t feel it right now—

that’s okay too.

Try this.

Take your inner child on a little date.

Go to the beach.

Get ice cream.

Jump on your bed

with your favorite song on.

Be a little silly again.

And see what happens.

Maybe something shifts.

Something small.

Something you can’t really explain.

If this resonated with you,

feel free to like, comment,

or subscribe—

that would mean the world to me.

Sometimes it feels like

there’s something more I should be doing—

something bigger,

something fuller.

I hear it everywhere,

feel it in the air,

like a quiet pressure

to want more.

But deep down,

I don’t.

My life is already full.

I just have to remember

to see it that way.

Yesterday—

my daughter and I went to the park,

like we always do on Fridays.

She wore her lemon dress,

blue and green with little lemons,

like something you’d wear

on the coast of Italy.

We packed our picnic blanket,

walked to the spot we like,

and picked up our usual poke bowl

from the place around the corner.

We split it—

we always split everything.

One set of chopsticks for me,

a fork for her.

Sometimes we get a coconut drink,

sometimes a strawberry Dole Whip—

yesterday, we shared one.

Sticky fingers,

sweet on our lips.

She had her activity book,

and we listened to a kid podcast—

a little lazy day hack

for a mom with a lingering cough.

And somehow,

it was enough.

Then we did ballet on the grass—

music playing softly in the background.

Just the two of us—

twirling,

laughing,

no audience.

And I felt it, so clearly—

I don’t need anything else.

Not the plans I didn’t make,

not the places I didn’t go,

not the version of me

who says yes to everything.

I’m here,

with my favorite person,

doing my favorite thing—

sitting on the earth,

letting my body soften,

letting life be simple.

She shows me this

without trying.

That joy isn’t somewhere else.

That nothing is missing.

That this—

this is the life.

And maybe

I didn’t know how to see it before.

But I do now.

Because of her.

What in your life is already full—

if you let yourself see it that way?

On invisible work and the worlds that quietly grow within it

Lately I’ve been thinking about how motherhood can look small from the outside while containing an entire universe within it.

This is a reflection from a recent episode of Mother Universe.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how a life can look small from the outside…

even when it contains an entire universe within it.

Sometimes I wish

a simple life

could just be enough.

Not small in meaning—

just small in appearance.

The kind of life that doesn’t come with a title,

or a headline,

or a sentence someone reads on LinkedIn

and nods at approvingly.

Just a life.

But somewhere along the way,

when we are young,

the question begins.

What will you be?

What will you become?

What will you prove?

Maybe the question

is not entirely wrong.

Part of being human

is wanting to meet

the edges of your own potential.

But the question lingers

long after childhood.

Quietly shifting shape.

Not

Who are you?

But

Is who you are enough?

The world fills with examples

of people placed on pedestals—

celebrities, founders, prodigies,

people with microphones

and blue check marks—

as if a life must be visible

to be meaningful.

But when I really look at the people around me,

I don’t see ordinary lives.

I see entire universes.

A person becomes interesting

not in their highlight reel

but in the way their strength

and vulnerability

live side by side.

The quiet struggles.

The private joys.

The strange contradictions.

Every person,

when seen in full circle,

is a story worth telling.

And yet

even knowing this

I still feel the pressure sometimes.

Because right now

my life is centered around motherhood.

And motherhood—

though enormous on the inside—

can look strangely small

from the outside.

Or maybe that’s the real paradox.

Motherhood

is big on the inside.

Not necessarily big

on the outside.

There are no promotions.

No applause.

Just the invisible work

of shaping a life.

Packing snacks.

Listening to stories.

Answering the same question

for the fiftieth time.

Holding a small hand

while a whole human being

slowly forms.

People sometimes ask,

“What else are you working on?”

As if motherhood

is a side project.

But motherhood is not

a side gig.

It is how humanity continues.

Women are portals

through which new life

enters Earth.

Right now

my season is small

on the outside.

But inside it…

a whole world

grows.

If this resonated, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

What is a season in your life right now that might look small from the outside, but feels enormous on the inside?

Mother Universe

Episode 5: The Real Gold

Intro

Welcome to Mother Universe.

I’m Lisa Ormsby.

If you’ve been listening before, you might notice a small shift in the name. What began as Motherhood & Miracles is slowly expanding into something a little bigger — reflections on motherhood, nature, and the quiet intelligence that moves through all of life.

Today’s reflection began with a very small moment at bedtime — my daughter falling asleep on me and the quiet rhythm of her heartbeat beneath my hand.

It became a reminder of something simple that we often forget… what the real gold in life actually is.

The Real Gold

Last night my daughter fell asleep draped across me like I was her pillow.

Earlier that day she had proudly brought home two new stuffed animals after a stuffy trade with the twins at school. She carried them everywhere like they were her new best friends, excited to sleep with them that night.

But when it was time for bed, she tossed them aside and curled into me instead.

I laughed quietly to myself when I realized something.

I’m the original lovey.

For nine months my heartbeat was the background rhythm of her life. Maybe that’s what she’s still listening for when she curls into me at night.

As she drifted off, I rested my hand on her chest and felt her heartbeat beneath my palm.

It’s the simplest thing in the world, and also the most miraculous.

If you’ve ever read about human biology, it’s astonishing. The body is an automatic, impossibly complex system running quietly in the background. Our hearts beat without asking us. Our lungs breathe even when we forget. Thousands of tiny processes keep us alive every second without our control.

Sometimes I think we forget how miraculous we are.

Lately my nervous system has felt a little dysregulated, like I couldn’t quite find my center again after the noise and pace of the world around us.

So the next day I went to the place that almost always brings me back.

The ocean.

The moment my feet touched the sand, my mind quieted. Something about being there resets something deep inside me.

Before I left, I did something I sometimes do when I’m standing with the earth.

I asked Mother Nature a question.

Is there anything you want me to know?

The answer that came back felt simple.

Trust the people who are already in your life.

You don’t need to chase relationships. You don’t need to force connection. The people who are showing up right now are the ones meant to be here. Life rearranges the rest when it needs to.

Energy works that way.

The way you show up in the world quietly organizes who comes into your orbit and who drifts away.

Then I pressed my fingers into the sand and another thought came through.

This is the greatest self-care you can give yourself.

Not the skincare routines. Not the endless list of things we’re told will fix us.

Come sit with me, she seemed to say.

This is where you recharge from the inside out.

When I brushed the sand from my fingers, I noticed something glittering in the grains.

Tiny specks of gold catching the sunlight.

I held them in my palm for a moment and smiled to myself.

Of course.

Mother Nature is gold.

The real gold.

Outro

Maybe the real gold in life isn’t something we chase or collect.

Maybe it’s already here.

In the rhythm of our children’s hearts.

In the quiet wisdom of the earth beneath our feet.

And in the small moments that remind us what truly matters.

If this reflection resonated with you, one of the best ways to support this work is simply by subscribing, sharing it with someone who might enjoy it, or leaving a comment. I always love hearing what the piece stirred in you.

Thank you for being here with me.

Episode 4 —

Motherhood & Miracles

Today I met a golden retriever in his front yard.

Sweetest dog. Golden. Soft face.

He had grass.

He had toys.

He had space.

But where was his person?

Probably still at work.

He kept bringing me a stick instead of the ball, like he didn’t really know what to do. Like he had forgotten how to play alone.

I told him he was a good boy.

And when I finally had to leave, he barked.

And barked.

And barked.

Not mean.

Just — please stay. I’m lonely.

It made me realize something about humans too.

You can listen to the full episode above.

Reflection

Every day humans need basics.

Water.

Sunlight.

Movement.

Connection.

Quiet.

As I walked away from that dog, I felt the barking in my own chest.

Not fully sick.

Not fully well.

It’s been about a month since I was sick.

I’m functioning.

But not restored.

There’s still that lingering cough.

That subtle ache.

That feeling of not quite being back.

And then the news.

Immigration crackdowns with ICE.

Sex trafficking files.

Things once called conspiracies.

Fact-checking the fact-checkers

until your eyes blur.

People in the cold trying to survive winter without shelter.

You’re trying to hold space for the world

while also just trying to get your digestion back on track.

I have enough.

And I still feel overwhelmed.

Both are true.

By the time I have a moment to myself, it’s dark outside.

I used to walk every evening.

Work off dinner.

Help my digestion.

Feel like myself again.

Now it feels harder.

Harder to step into the dark.

Harder to find that old rhythm.

On my way home, I hugged a tree.

I probably looked ridiculous.

But I asked her anyway —

What can you tell me?

And she said,

It’s still winter.

Winter doesn’t end because you’re tired of it.

Nature rests.

Everything rests.

Bears hibernate.

Plants go dormant.

Roots pull inward.

And we live in a world that wants to be summer 24/7.

Bright.

Productive.

On.

Even in California, where one day it’s 80 and the next it’s 50 —

winter still happens.

Inside the body.

Inside the nervous system.

Maybe I’m not behind.

Maybe I’m wintering.

Maybe the barking isn’t failure.

Maybe it’s just unmet needs.

Water.

Sunlight.

Movement.

Connection.

Rest.

Spring is not late.

It’s simply

not here yet.

A line that stayed with me

Maybe I’m not behind.

Maybe I’m wintering.

Closing

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately — even when you technically have enough — you’re not alone.

Maybe nothing is wrong with you.

Maybe your body is just in winter.

Maybe what you need isn’t more productivity…

but more of the basics.

Water.

Sunlight.

Movement.

Connection.

Rest.

Thank you for being here.

Motherhood & Miracles Podcast

Episode 3

by Lisa Ormsby

Intro

Hi. Welcome back to the Motherhood & Miracles podcast.

This is Episode 3, and today’s piece is called Don’t Rush the Magic.

The other evening, my daughter and I were driving home from Grandma’s house when the sky did that thing it does sometimes — when it looks like it’s on fire. Orange. Gold. Impossible to ignore.

And in that moment, I realized how easy it is to rush through the beautiful parts of our lives. To move too fast. To miss what’s right in front of us.

So this is a poem about slowing down. About presence. About motherhood. About what happens when you choose to stay in the moment long enough to feel it.

This is Don’t Rush the Magic.

Poem

My daughter and I were driving home

from Grandma’s house

when the sun

started setting.

And I said,

Look, Emma—look.

The sky looks painted.

Orange.

Gold.

She leaned forward

in her little seat and said,

It looks like it’s on fire.

Golden.

Glowing.

And we got excited together.

Like two people

seeing the world

for the first time.

And something in me whispered—

Stay.

This is the moment.

This is the good part.

Because it’s hard,

in a world that rushes you,

to notice wonder.

But sunset doesn’t ask permission.

It just happens.

It says—

Come back to your body.

You’re alive.

And there I was,

in a messy car,

in a tired body,

in a life

I didn’t know

I’d love this much.

I didn’t know

love could feel like this.

I grew up believing in love,

but not always feeling

enough inside it.

And then the greatest love of my life

came in the form

of a four-year-old girl

who loves me

without asking me

to be anything else.

She brings me gifts every day.

Crayon hearts.

Paper rainbows.

Things held together

with glue and intention.

People call it art.

I call it evidence.

Of being seen.

Of being known.

And my body—

my body has slowed me down.

Pain.

Fatigue.

Aching mornings.

Some days motherhood

feels heavier than I imagined.

But pain has a strange wisdom.

It forces you to move gently.

To listen.

To notice.

When I can’t rush,

I see more.

The ache reminds me—

Pay attention.

Darkness has walked with me

for a long time.

But now—

now I’m in the sunshine.

Not the kind that forgets the dark.

The kind that survived it.

Motherhood didn’t save me

from life.

It saved me

back into life.

Through my daughter’s eyes

butterflies are miracles.

The ocean sparkles on purpose.

The sky keeps painting itself

just to remind us.

And I know this won’t last forever.

She won’t always shout at sunsets.

She won’t always reach for my hand.

So I’m making a vow—

Don’t look away.

Don’t rush the magic.

Don’t forget—

this moment matters.

Because when you’ve known the dark,

the light

is worth stopping for.

And right now,

my life

is golden

and glowing.

Outro

Sometimes I think the most sacred work we do isn’t changing our lives.

It’s noticing them.

It’s choosing to stay long enough to feel the miracle of what’s already here.

If this resonated with you, share it with another mother who might need the reminder.

And wherever you are today — don’t rush the magic.

I’ll see you next time.

A bedtime spiral in cozy pajamas

It was late.

The house was quiet.

My daughter was asleep in the next room.

And instead of falling asleep,

my thoughts got big.

In this intimate, late-night reflection, I share a moment of existential fear — the kind that arrives when the world feels unstable and the lights are low — and the surprising warmth I found on the other side of it.

This episode explores:

• Bedtime spirals and moon-cycle sensitivity

• The fear that nothing is real

• Motherhood as proof that love is

• Sacred geometry, physics, and the poetry of creation

• The possibility that maybe life exists because the universe didn’t want to be alone

If you’ve ever felt small and infinite at the same time…

If you’ve ever questioned everything and still tucked your child into bed…

If you’ve ever needed the world to feel safe again —

This one is for you.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for being here.

You are not alone.
