Fabulous. Pulled myself out of a reader’s trance several times to pen my own hauntings. I hope some version of “Growing to Love our Ghosts” makes its way outside of Substack?
Thank you, Michele! I love that the piece inspired you to write down some of your own hauntings.
Yes, I wondered about working on it longer and trying to send it out, rather than posting! I decided that I didn't want to keep something that felt like it had energy to it from Substack-- that I wanted to post something that felt like it would be thought provoking for others-- but that also I should probably continue to work with the ideas. (This was a whole inner dialogue!) Thanks for the reminder/push to keep working with this. :)
I loved reading this. The way you describe traces is especially helpful for me because it’s a reminder that so many aspects of our lives are connected in ways we might not even know.
Thank you for this comment, Emily! I love that you got that out of it-- yes, the connections we might not even know. We sense them in those traces. That's useful and fascinating to think about.
