Holding Forth.

I’m feeling traumatized by this past week, a very hard work week along with the events in the news, too much. So I’ve pulled into the shell to rest and regroup. I can’t look at the news, I can’t talk about any of it. Went for a massage, deep and painful and just barely got the surface layer of tension. It’s a hard thing to be present with what’s happening in this country, the extremes and the intensity, adversity, rage, and yes the hate, so out in the open. To sit here with all the feelings, outrage, fear, anger, sadness, soul crushing pain, shock – where to put it? How to use this? The helplessness and not knowing where to effectively act, to get ears and attention of the ones in the thick of it and ask what in the holy f**k is going on and where do we begin?! Rather than get stuck in despair and capitulate, it’s a day of quiet, self care, keeping it local, puttering at home. Replenish to rise another day and fight the good fight.
