Today's newsletter offers three anecdotes to contextualize an important reminder:
Sometimes the world just won't give us nice, neat, coherent stories.
Never has before!
So when despairing at the haphazard state of the news, maybe consider these three tales: of messy beginnings (mitochondria!), middles (mince pie mythology!), and endings (Patron Saint outcomes!).
We have so little control over the "story" as a whole.
Maybe there's a strength in embracing that, though.

Stuey, just having a kind eye like yours on the words is more than reward enough. 🤗 Thank you for the warm words, and for taking the time with it. I'm so glad it served.
