But, mostly, the underlying theme of all I write is how taking a moment to stop and digest some longform text — instead of scrolling, instead of watching a video, instead of multitasking — can be one of the most grounding things we can do for ourselves.

If you weren’t able to join us, do yourself a favor and YouTube her; whatever video pops up for you, I can guarantee you’ll be enthralled by what she has to say — and how she says it. Her work isn’t included in The Best American Short Stories of the Century and she’s not on the board of the MacArthur Foundation for nothin’, after all.
