I'm sad to hear that this has been something you have to grapple with in trying to find your own peace in spacious land.
The one sliver of hope I'm holding onto is knowing how many former conservatives are checking their shit and shifting their POV. An old friend from HS and Republican has been calling out friends and family and publicly shares that he will be voting all Dem due to his empathy and not wanting to support hate. I share in hopes that some other narratives around these white men who have other sides to show.
I am so disappointed that our country keeps revealing it's darkest sides and hope we can keep moving towards what we know is right and just and human.
You are a beautiful soul I am so lucky to know.
Wishing you calm, grounded and loving energy for you.
It is a slow shift right? I am thankful that so many are awakening that this is not a normal sort of energy that is stepping into power. I felt the danger when no one thought this was going to happen the first time and I think everyone let it go way too far. Now we are here yet again, and need to find a way to stick together rooted in community. So much of the narrative is on good vs bad and harming the other-it just does not help.
I feel like we are in some action/thriller film and now need to find a way to survive. It's not a good feeling, but also we must be firmly rooted in the reality. For now, my reality will be feeding myself and my child, hydrating, sleeping, reading, writing, and crafting because my mind is trying to understand what is to come, and it is of course beyond my wildest ideas.
Thank you for writing and sharing this call to action. It is a terrifying time to be alive as a woman of color, and a mother. Sharing my empathy to you for experiencing microaggressions on the daily and fearing for your safety. This is no way to live. I hope you are feeling safe and held in the coming days by people you love and trust. Where is the Love has been streaming through my mind these days. To vote is to use your voice, and in these precarious times this is our most powerful tool. <3
The terror is real. We understand the realities of what is being created, and we want our children to inherit a beautiful world. I am in deep gratitude for your shared empathy and I must remain hopeful despite what is to come. I am somewhat at a loss for words this week and, I wanted to share that your words landed deep in my heart~thank you for that.
