A Year in Doodles
from Nevertheless, Persisting: Life. Love. Long COVID.
How do we mark the passage of time when we're in limbo? That's the question on Dr. Amy's and Lance's minds in this episode of NEVERTHELESS, PERSISTING. We consider how our perceptions of time have changed since Long COVID, how we mark time, how we pass time, and how all this has changed since the Before Times. Time, time, time... it's a hazy shade of something out there.A YEAR IN DOODLESI've been resisting writing an acknowledgement of the new year. Another year of illness. Another year of no cure. Another year of fighting with bureaucrats (which initially auto-corrected to buttercream which I'd much rather fight with).It's also been a year of acceptance. A year of gratitude. A year of slowing down on purpose, with purpose. Of stopping to notice and appreciate. A year of deep breaths in and slow, intentional breaths out. Trust me. It helps.Continues at https://amyblackstonephd.substack.com/p/a-year-in-doodlesIntro music: Humoresque by Antonín Dvořák from Suzuki Flute School Volume 3; Played proudly and poorly by Amy BlackstoneOutro music: Moon Over Ruined Castle by Rentarō Taki from Suzuki Flute School Volume 1; Played proudly and poorly by Amy BlackstoneFor more information, go to amyblackstonephd.com.
