In the morning I read my choice letters that tell me of the world and US politics. These voices are informed and educated views spreading facts in honest and straight forward terms. And it's horrible. It's mind blowing and my heart feels shredded as I read, and view the images, of the horrors humans are inflicting on each other in distant lands.
Yet, here at home there are horrors too. The current Republican party has been taken over by extreme zealots hell bent on destroying our democracy. And the anger that morphs into brutality of anyone who is not white or male has become unhinged. My mind is blown as I grapple with trying to understand the "why" of all this. I feel hobbled and overwhelmed and insignificant as I wonder what can possibly be done to turn this around. This darkness seems to have been released by those who condone it and operate from greed and the need for power. How do we send that hate back into the black holes it emerged from?
Yesterday I took to my woods. A walk that was slow and deliberate. I listened as the trees sang to me of the wind. They told me to send my prayers into their canopy so the wind could carry them greater distances. I listened to the streams giggling and babbling over rocks and under felled trees and I was reminded to flow, to dance around and over the feelings that easily become obstacles that paralyze me. I watched an Eagle soar over my mountain and was reminded to rise above it all and to give my prayers to that majestic bird who would "take them straight up. They see what's needed".
And so I sent my prayers into the wind, asking that those in the horrors of a hell be released soon. I gave my prayers to the Eagles and asked that Grace fill those hurting hearts with some kind of peace so that they might survive the atrocities raining down on them.
I prayed that the evil and hatred that fills this world right now be overpowered by the good in so many others. I asked that my prayers join with all of yours to fill the wind and spread throughout the land and beyond. A vibrational Universal wave of goodness and love soaring around the globe and blanketing with light the blackness that is sucking and consuming too much.
It was all I could think to do at this time. I pray that it's enough ... for now.
