A thread if u need support right now:
As we enter into this fall, we have to take time to do our mourning. Lean on & into our spiritual supports, our practice, our loved ones, our communities. Remember that you are not the only one hurting, afraid, and feeling lonely.

Let yourself cry. Imagine that you are crying with and on behalf of the world. Especially imagine crying for those who have forgotten how to cry. Cry for those who do not know how to cry, who let their unmetabolized pain turn into violence against themselves, u, and others.
You must understand that u must chose to consume all of this chaos or it will consume u. Eat it or it will eat u. Face the chaos, let your hearts break, ask to be cared for, be uncomfortable, accept everything as it arises, & then do the work to change what needs to be changed.
Ask your sorrow what it wants. Imagine feeding your sorrow what it craves. Most often it is crazing to be noticed and tended to. To tend to your sorrow, feed it space by letting yourself experience it. Tell yourself this is just an experience and let yourself feel it.
At the end of the day, when we’ve done what we can, whatever happens will happen. We understand that everything doesn’t work out for the good of all. This is something that we must mourn as well.
Ask your sources of refuge to help you hold the sorrow. Your heart is breaking. That’s OK. you don’t have to hold on to it by yourself. Maybe ask the Earth or your breath to help hold it. Surround yourself with all the beings that love u & offer the brokenness to them to hold.
Let yourself be angry. Now let your self experience the anger. Remember your anger. It is reminding you that things are not OK. Use this energy to guide your work of liberation. But never let your anger consume u. Always feed it space. Always let your refuges help u hold it.
This hurts and things are fucked up right now. Things are suppose to be tough. We are giving birth to something new. These are the labor pains of this birthing. We must trust the process no matter how unsteady and fucked this feels. We have to trust everything.
Yes this is political warfare. But it’s also spiritual warfare. We are fighting to keep the light of clarity and truth from being swallowed by the darkness of delusion. We are in a precarious balance.
This is the apocalypse. This is a time of truth and unveiling. The light isn’t going anywhere. It’s just revealing itself fully to us now. If we don’t at least attempt to wrestle with the truth telling, delusion will consume us.
If you chose to bullshit yourself, you will not make it. You will lose touch with the truth. That loss of truth will make you bitter, violent, and resistant to liberation. You will be far away from your brokenheartedness. Your will become selfish. U will embody dellusion.
