really appreciated reading this today, and have been thinking a lot about what it means to surrender to that loss of control right now and honor our sacred spaces and spiritual practices well. thank you friend
Things are certainly looking up. We have an intelligent, competent and caring President now. At least this administration will be working for the good of our nation. No more division and hate, excluding those who choose their own negative path. At least our government will not be supporting the evil and corrupt people of this country. May God bless us all, may he keep you and may His face shine upon you, and give you peace…Numbers 6:24-26
So helpful for me today, especially while reading about all the crazy that happened yesterday. Leaning into the idea of uncovering the serenity of balancing the changeable and beyond my control. Thank you for this reminder!
Wise words, indeed... and necessary
here is a poem that I often turn to
Try to Praise the Mutilated World

BY ADAM ZAGAJEWSKI
TRANSLATED BY CLARE CAVANAGH
Try to praise the mutilated world.
Remember June's long days,
and wild strawberries, drops of rosé wine.
The nettles that methodically overgrow
the abandoned homesteads of exiles.
You must praise the mutilated world.
You watched the stylish yachts and ships;
one of them had a long trip ahead of it,
while salty oblivion awaited others.
You've seen the refugees going nowhere,
you've heard the executioners sing joyfully.
You should praise the mutilated world.
Remember the moments when we were together
in a white room and the curtain fluttered.
Return in thought to the concert where music flared.
You gathered acorns in the park in autumn
and leaves eddied over the earth's scars.
Praise the mutilated world
and the gray feather a thrush lost,
and the gentle light that strays and vanishes
and returns.
