Duality: Grief and the Celebration of Life
It is a challenging time. I am feeling a lot of grief. I am in total disbelief. I am overwhelmed. I feel helpless.
“If you're feeling helpless, help someone. ”
― Aung San Suu Kyi
Yesterday was a new moon in scorpio and the shadows are dark. Edges are sharp. I feel calm and quiet on the outside but there is a smoldering rage inside. I want to Rage against the machine of patriarchy. I am pissed. I want to (with gentle loving kindness) smash the industry of war. I want to light a match a burn it all up.
But I am safe. I am serene. I am surrounded by nature. I can go to the river under a blackened sky and soak in a natural hot spring and plunge into a mountain river and I can take deep, conscious breaths…
I can transform my energy into synergy and potent vitality to carry on. I can dance and move freely. I can write poetry or quietly sing. Today, I sat with the elders and remembered we are all in this together.
