I just came across this article last weekend, three years after you first cast it out into the world, and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it—this is one of the most impactful articles that I have read in a very long time (I only wish it was an entire book!). When I saw that it didn’t have more likes/traction, I thought “What, how?!?”—this deserves to reach thousands of people. On feeling like an imposter because of a tendency to write in synthesis and recombination (bridging, like you said!): If you still ever feel that now, I just have to share that you were able to dynamically balance so many considerations at once in a way that I have seen attempted many times (including myself haha) and very rarely achieved at this degree of intentionality, integration, and novel connection. I think that the role of a writer as a weaver is vital, especially in an age of overflowing information and community disconnection. I just shared a compilation list called Resonant Resources via my Substack and featured your article so that it can ripple farther and wider! Thank you for your creativity. -Maggy
Aw, thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it. Always a treat to hear what resonates; thanks for taking the time to share (hooray for writer-as-weaver!)
