When I get into this kind of [hot mess] energy, the solution is counterintuitive and sometimes hard to bring myself to implement: Stop chasing. Slow down. The more I chase the messy bits and try to force them into order, the more they scatter.

And when I’m in this doing-chasing mode, that’s when my practices tend to slip away—which only makes the unease louder. That’s where I’ve been this past week.

One of the things I appreciate most about our studio family is that we make room for all of it. I see people show up with their whole selves, not just the polished parts. We don’t pretend hard things aren’t happening. There’s an unspoken agreement among us: Let’s be honest here. Let’s be whole. Let’s be real.

Saturday night, we gathered for Songs of Devotion. The theme, uncannily, was water. We sang beautiful, uplifting songs from Brazil, Japan, the U.S.—in praise of water’s life-giving gifts. Water heal my body. Water heal my soul. In 75 minutes, we created a whole world together—hearts swelling and breaking at once. In the background, there was Texas. Sheila acknowledged the disaster as we began, noting that this theme had long been planned. It lived there quietly alongside the music. Even in celebration, there was grief.

Everything has its shadow. She creates. She destroys. We create. We destroy.
