I often find myself thinking that believing the impossible is why I am still alive. Thank you for this very important reminder.

As a caregiver and family member, and house mate in a small house, asking for and taking time to be alone today and the next 2+ days. I feel like crying with gratitude that I don't have to do anything for anyone else or have my actions or communication perceived by anyone else. It's scary and magical that I can do what I want and not get anything done unless I want to. I don't even know what will happen. I refuse to commit myself. I am open to enchantment.

The brilliant gold leaves of the towering cottonwoods against the vast blue Arizona sky got me feeling enchanted 💛💙

My commute enchants me - I only have to go in once a week and noticing the changing autumn landscape and lower light is beautiful🌳🍂🌅

...And my cat when she's sleeping and puts her little paw over her face🥹😻

And the energy, resilience and community of the ppl of Valencia and all communities worldwide pulling together to live through adverse times 🕊️❤️‍🩹

This was such a beautiful enchanting read, Mara. Thank you!

Being severely ill, in and out of hospital, fighting for my life and bedbound for years, I haven't previously used the term enchantment, but it seems very resonating for the finding beauty and joy in small things, expressing gratitude and holding on to hope, love and community.

I love the enchantment memes! The plaintive howls of the neighbor's dog enchants me. As does the willingness of the people around me to openly voice their displeasure and grief this last week.
