Y'all. I'm scared.
Last night I had a dream that I was at the top of a rock climbing route and I wasn't tied into my harness, I hadn't clipped any bolts on the way up the climb. I was fumbling around with the rope, trying to find a way to secure myself to the anchors and I was finding out that all the fixed points that should hold my weight had been eroded. There was nothing to tie into. Nothing to keep me safe. Everything I clipped a carabiner onto moved. I was aware that my mind was no longer functioning well because I was so panicked that I couldn't make clear assessments of my situation. Two dear friends, Allison and Sprout, were on the ground below, watching me fumble and shouting suggestions and warnings.
As I type this out now, I can feel the tears coming to my eyes.
This is how life feels right now. We are at war, internationally. And there's this domestic war - happening in the subtle ways that we are not communicating with one another - about politics - about our hurt feelings - about tough stuff.
Even though I'm scared, I will keep sharing my work - my love of nature, myself and you.
In my dream, I somehow managed to downclimb. I used my strength to find a safe way back to Earth. I didn't fall and I didn't die. I felt so relieved when both of my feet were back on the ground.
Finding a safe way back to the Earth.
Finding a safe way back into our bodies, our minds, our hearts.
Finding a way to pray together, to act together.
And we can find this way while we're scared. It'll work, somehow.
Love helps. Connection helps. Play helps.
