such beautiful and thought-provoking questions, Chris. Like you, I do believe it is possible to break through the superficial and to find those who are searching for more. I try to frame it in terms of what is under my control and what is not...in terms of my own agency.
I try to be as authentic and truthful as I can to myself in this moment in time (because we're constantly evolving). Each time I write, I try to share my truth as honestly as possible. How that truth - how those words may be interpreted or possibly misunderstood by others - is not in my control and ultimately have nothing to do with the truth itself that I shared. I know what it is - even if others may not understand it. Because there also will be those who do understand it. And that gift is already more than enough. That's how I'm currently finding my peace and navigating forward.
I love this Grace, in so many ways. You have a particular ability to navigate liminal growth spaces and yet not hold others to the same currents in the river.
The beautiful thing about those who are searching for more is that even if they don't currently align with you, that doesn't mean they won't in the future - that is the nature of ecosystems - to your point, they evolve. Your search for peace will bring peace to others in the future by way of shifting where the river flows for them.
