Once again, I am speechless about what is happening in the world and in my home country. Once again, I want, so very much, to circle up, to connect with what is real.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! I am practicing and dreaming and training with all my might to buzz raucously about and sip! sip! sip! from the flowers that will surely bloom from the ashes of this giant dumpster fire. Let us buzz and play together! <3
I had been pretty good about cutting back on the news but last week I listened more than I had been. I got anxious and angry which reminded why I had to avoid doing this. I've also been getting messages about loving, like yours, Amy. Bless you! The other day I listened to a recording of one of the Christian Community priests. He talked about karma, and I understood it in a way I never had before. He said we cannot fix this world; we can only strive to bring love into it. Another message I got was when I was listening to a 92nd Street Y conversation with Savannah Guthrie. I had never heard her before. She's a coanchor/journalist for NBC who is a devout Christian and has written a book about God's love. What I really appreciated--and unfortunately I can't be sure I'm stating it accurately--that the only sin is to not act out of love.
I am finding that I can - if I stay away from the stupid news. If I read what is happening, instead of watching the endless spin on TV. Also, knowing that people are starting to push back helps, too. I am finding it helpful to work on other projects - writing a letter, connecting here, working on a book project. Baking.
I don’t watch any television. I read my news… I’m writing, which is nourishing me. Not pushing… imagining long walks when it warms… planning a small garden, thinking about Maine. And then a friend writes, “we will be in a pandemic by the summer,” and the anxiety rises. I am mostly concerned about my children, and those who are struggling .
Thank you for this. It helps me remember.

Hi Kathy! I haven't forgotten about us connecting! <3 Stay tuned. :)
Hi, Nikki! I didn't think you had. :-) Life is crazy all over. It will happen when the time is right. :-)

Sitting right with you… breathing… trying so hard to come to center and stay there for even just a little while. 💕

Yes, same here. Same waves moving through, shaking the foundations. Yes. With you.
