vote for the moon
It’s full right now
Go out and look
Its silver light
Cools us down
from hot anger at injustice.
burning fear for our future,
or contempt for the human race.
Because as a warrior
we will be weakened by these,
our stance unsteady,
our minds’ racing.
To face such uncertain times
We must be cool,
centered in the moment,
and trust our realities.
The moon, she is there
always there in her magnificent body
and we in ours.
Whether we believe in a god or not,
this unbreakable grace,
in this, I trust
All I can say is UGG!
Guess the U.S has some heavy karma to work out.
Is the toilet clean?
Here are some things my friends said they did after hearing the news.
-Bought a flowering house plant.
-Took a walk in nature with a friend.
-Went out to sushi and got drunk on sake.
-Refilled their lorazepam.
-Told their teenagers it is time for a job.
-And cleaned house.
I think 90% of the people who voted for Kamala have cleaned their houses in the last couple of days. In fact, I bet Kamala herself went home and cleaned her house.
Why?
Because it is something we have control over. We can’t clean up the mess out in the big world, but we can clean our own space.
My three therapist friends all said the same thing -
Take time for small pleasures
Practice gratitude between grumblings.
Do self-care.
Avoid the news for a while.
And clean your space.
