Lee, I am about to boss you, and you seem like a person who does not like being bossed, but I'm going to do it anyway.
In this current age of oligarchy and totalitarianism, our governments are no longer pretending to care about their people.
I admire your dedication to communicating with your prime minister and engaging deeply with those close to the conflict in Gaza.
But girl, you are the last person to be carrying this burden. Especially now. I beg of you to step away and give yourself grace. Your love, care, and guilt will not save a life right now. Take all that energy and reserve it for yourself. *Your* grief, the grief of your loss. You lost another familiar. You are in another huge transition.
The atrocities happening in the world *do* need us and our collective energies to create a different outcome. But let the rest of us do that right now, step away from the horror, and protect yourself. At this juncture, you need you as a healer more than the world needs you as a warrior.
Thank you for this. And yes I hear you. It resonates fully with where I am at. Am planning some sort of leaving ritual to disconnect from the burdens of whatever ties me to something or someone … as part of something I cannot sustain or condone… and take only what is healing and loving and honoring of life to carry forward… 🙏💫🌳
I’m afraid I have to agree with Consuelo. It all piles up, and there is only so much your body and mind can handle.
Please read ‘Mind your body’ on this topic by Nicole Sachs. If it’s not already in your curriculum, it’s a great addition considering your situation and the topics your studying.
Sterkte met het verlies nichtje. Ik weet hoe zwaar het is om afscheid te nemen van zo’n dierbaar beestje, wat inmiddels een familie lid geworden is. Gun jezelf de rust om het te verwerken. Dikke kussen van je neef
Xxx some seeds can wait for the right environment for 50 years in the soil. Some (I think some tree seeds) even much longer. What if our hopes and dreams are like seedkeepers. Needed now, even if we don’t see how and why. I don’t know dear, I wish I could hold you and kiss all this sadness and sorrow away. I can’t. I’m reading the book combining by Nora Bateson hoping for some new insights. All over the world there are horrible people and at the same time there is love and people who try to make a difference. I’m sorry I can’t offer something better😢but I do agree with the messages above. Please please hold yourself with some compassion.
