Katrina's Interlude

To me, vulnerability is something that doesn't have a particular look, but it does have a shared feeling across different people, cultures, communities

And I think that feeling is one of truth

There's a sound, there's an energy that is truth, and that is the embodiment of vulnerability

Because ultimately, for me, vulnerability is revealing one's truth, which is always a risk

Sharing yourself, sharing the truth, often comes with retribution or backlash

And so to be, I don't know, brave enough might not be the right word, but to be willing to take that risk in an effort to restore or reinforce connection is a certain kind of transformative magic for me that also creates itself

It invites others to also share their truth

It's something that propagates, if you will

And I think that's my favorite thing about vulnerability is that it's not captured in one person

It actually requires some level of connection to another being
