beautiful, thank you for this "The heart knows the way though there may be high-rises, interstates, checkpoints, armed soldiers, massacres, wars, and those who will despise you because they despise themselves."
Thanks for this, Liz, and for your healing work in the world. I just want to let you know that what is coming to you and through you right now is very much what I am thinking and feeling also. I have a very strong urge to withdraw (from talking head news, political arguments, etc) and do some serious nurturing of soul (with nature, with slowing down, being present, healthy habits, community). I have already begun to let go of investment in outcomes, in accepting all of the horrible shit show that's going to happen, in all of the persons and animals and plants and institutions that are going to suffer immeasurably. Not being complacent with it, but accepting of it, not wrapping up my energy in confronting it or getting agitated about it or fighting it. Much of it is beyond my control. I also feel this time of nurturing and growth for the battles that lie ahead is not going to be over in a week or a month or a year. I intuitively feel that it will be a longer process, but I will ultimately be more powerful, more resilient, more resolved, more calm, more grounded in love and courage on the other side of the second Trump term. I'm on the team.
Thank you too, Rhoda, for all the work you do in the world, including this work right here that you're sharing, the way you're being guided. We've gotta get together in Circle again sometime soon! I would love to sit and unearth wisdom together, these times are just so ripe for it, and I learn so much from sitting with beautiful thoughtful people like yourself. I've been feeling the call to get some going again. Can I let you know when I do to see if you're available/ interested?
A beautiful poem that captures this moment by Joy Harjo:

Absolutely
Amazing!
thank you! ❤️
Thank you Liz and yes I resonate with what you are experiencing. Not entirely mirroring, however, 'I feel you'. Blessings dear
Thank you, blessings right back
