Have You Been Clenching Your Teeth?
Where in your body might you be carrying your fear? Your rage? Your grief? Are you able to pause and soften and give some love and support to those places? Be safe out there. And be loud when you can.
Practice, contemplation, and insights

I have been meditating more in recent weeks than I had been for quite some time. It is providing a balance to all the intensity.
I hope you are practicing something that helps you hold and heal yourself. I wish for you, as I wish and work for myself, some joy and equanimity amidst the global and climatic upheaval and whatever challenges you may be facing personally. Do not turn away from suffering and also appreciate moments of beauty.

What we do matters even if it does not (or apparently does not) change the big picture. I find contributing in some way helps me feel less despondent, even if that is because I have occupied my mind with positive action for as long as I am doing it.
