See below the essay for upcoming events, including The Uplift, a free online gathering designed to help us feel a bit more energized, connected and, hopefully, uplifted.
So many reminders for me here, Scott! Here are 2 that touched my heart:
"No matter what, each of us is with ourself through everything. Which is to say, the more aligned our words and actions are to our heart’s wisdom, the more peace we are likely to feel about how we are moving through the world. Even a world in flames."
"If all I see is horror, then I know it’s time to expand my lens. Not as a means of denial but of survival. And of remembering there is so much beauty here too, as well as the possibility of so much more. Lately it’s hard for me to stay connected to this truth, and yet it’s no less true."
This "heavy" essay actual felt like hope to my soul.
I look forward to the day when you write about your experience sharing that you were unvaccinated for Covid on social media and the ramifications of doing so. This time was profoundly traumatic for me, and to have someone like you be open about your choice was an anchor for my heart's sanity. My mindbody has not been able to let go of what I endured and witnessed over the past few years, and it's not for lack of trying. I did not post my status on social media, but the vicious verbal assaults in "real" life and reading such hatred for those who didn't get this particular vaccine—especially from people who I was close to—was beyond painful. Yet, the wildest experience has been seeing most appear to move on with minimal reflection.
I feel the love in life, too. I know that every connection and moment is precious. Thank you for being you and for sharing from your heart.
