A Mind of Here and Elsewhere is a creative series exploring the space between what we experience, how we interpret it, and how (or whether) we express it. Published every Monday.

Brain Knots / stories spun by cognitive distortions
Veil of Thunder / a reckoning with inner seasons
Between Tongue + Teeth / before and after the edit

Each piece is inspired by the interval between impulse and action. An interval can be narrowed by things like addiction and cognitive distortions or widened by things like CBT and mindfulness. The pause is where a knee-jerk reaction has the space to become a deliberate response.
