Just finished reading Full Cicada Moon, which is a book I had purchased for my ten year old. It's a beautiful poetically driven story of a young girl during the late 1960s who dreams of being an astronaut some day. In her present day she deals with sexism, racism, etc. as she grasps for her dreams.
Pure, Honest, Lovely:
I follow Iamsonmusic on IG (THAT VOICE), and his most recent video of the song Always With Me (song for anxiety), punched me in the soul. After deconstructing evangelicalism, I can’t authentically enjoy worship anymore. It was my most favorite part of church. Now I tense up and get angry. But when I see a Black man singing a gut wrenching song about his Jesus/God/Whatever, that feels authentic. I can get behind that. It brought me to tears.
