What I can say so far today is that power rooted in fear and domination has never felt so strong and so worthless at the same time. I am not interested in this kind of power, nor are the people who will return to power or be newly empowered by it, interested in me.
The values that matter to me may now be discarded in large and small ways with dire consequences. I don’t know how or why the distances between care and conquest keeps growing. It feels man handled on every level.
All I can think to do is keep carrying my love into the abyss. I cannot tell anyone that everything will be okay. But something in me is clear that life is just as unstoppable today as it was yesterday. I know there is no less beauty even as there is so much more ugly.
Planting and cultivating our offerings and deepening into the forces that create and govern life is just as important today as yesterday. Our work is and will be a source of vitality and nourishment in these times.
I am grateful for all the ways that I can support aliveness in bodies and the world. Life doesn’t end, it changes. Power over doesn’t last, but it does make accessing power with and power within more challenging.
Challenge yourself lovingly to deepen. Root into Her who governs and empowers us all.
And be kind wherever and whenever you can.
