Inseparable

Why lay yourself on the torturer’s rack of the past and future?The mind that tries to shape tomorrow beyond its capacitieswill find no rest. ~ Rumi, That lives in us

I am a planner(Hard as I've tried not to be. I adore calendars, plotting, projections, itineraries, goals.)And now there are no plans to be madeInstead: canceled, postponed to an unknown future date—or notLiving in the present has become essentialFind a place for the mind to restWe are always meditating, not always choosing how or on whatChoose nowNot scrolling, seeking shock, surprise, entertainment, comfort, too much informationNot obsessing(Compulsion in moderation)Prioritize balance, grounding, connecting with Self, Family and Earth, which are inseparable, which are Life.

For years, normality has been stretched nearly to its breaking point, a rope pulled tighter and tighter, waiting for a nip of the black swan’s beak to snap it in two. Now that the rope has snapped, do we tie its ends back together, or shall we undo its dangling braids still further, to see what we might weave from them? ~ Charles Eisenstein

This body is my sacred earthMy lungs, my heart, are yoursThe sacred earth that is our bodyWants to be fed whole foodsNatural, from seeds, soil, sun, water and magicLocally grown, in your garden or at least not half a world away from itWith freshness, color, life force, medicinal, herbal potencyThe sacred earth that is our bodyWants deep belly breathsWants mindful movementImaginative expansionIlluminationRemembering of oneness, love, inseparability

It's okay to turn off the news and to sit, breathe, still.It's okay to feel oceanic feelings or none at all. ~ Bryonie Wise

It's okay to feel despondent.It's okay to not know what to do.It's okay to slow down, to stop.It's okay to feel melancholy at the hour of another hazy sunset.It's okay to laugh out loud for no good reason.Whatever you feel, it's okay. It's good to feel it. Acknowledge your aliveness. Document it, even, in a journal, a painting, a sketch, a song, photographs.Things are always changing.It's okay to feel angry at irresponsible world leaders. Are they merely incompetent or truly evil? Either way, a lot of us are dying.It's okay to feel out of control. Realize that you never were in it.Here, the breeze blows, the birds sing, the sun arcs across the sky. Everywhere, life goes on. Naturally.We are inseparable.
