Sarbmeet – Your nourishing words soothe my heart and my body. Thank you! I know there is room for all the emotions – sorrow, anger, bewilderment, fear – and then the settling back into the loving embrace of the Unfolding that is holding us. Being with all of it as best we can.
I am also remembering that Thomas Berry told Brian that there would be great suffering along the path to the Ecozoic. To make room for that in community, and walk with kindness and gentleness, as best we can, with our fellow humans and the Earth and the Cosmogenesis. To ease suffering when we can and be present when we can’t, as best we can. And sometimes to fall asleep with the sound of the gentle rain for company.
I find my lens widens to embrace the Great Unfolding and then narrows to feel the possible effects in this moment and the next on my child, my grandchildren, the Earth herself. The grieving that comes of that seems just right, too. So it is a lot, and I’m grateful for your words, Sarbmeet, and for this community.
