For any of us who choose to use platforms for communication, they often run counter to intimate immedicacy. Even as I look at the elements preparing this substack platform I am aware of the many steps and calculations that “good” communicators synch up for maximum impact and reach. But there is something about the most elemental communicators, Pema Chodren comes to mind, that seems to dissolve those barriers and leaves me feeling the resonace of a live person, in space, with me, and the residue after, which is nourishing. Notice I did not say “comforted” because those who invite me in, regularly challenge my sense of myself and the world, into a kind of necessary uncertainty.
