SPIRITUAL MEDICS

We are living in the heart of transformation. Things are changing around us and within us at a rapid rate. We are in times of conflict and loss, of pain and struggle. Anger and blame are endemic.

Wherever you find yourself, I want to offer you something positive you can do. Something we can all do together.

I have committed myself to be a spiritual medic in these days of chaos. I hope you will join me and become one too.

If you do, here is what you will commit to for the duration of the turmoil:

To sustain the healing of creation.
To connect with others with intentionality.
To pray protection each day at noon.
To help diminish suffering.

What these four commitments mean will be up to you, and every other medic, to decide. In the days to come I will post some reflections on each one as four guiding principles, but I leave the comments section off because we are not an organization. There is no hierarchy. All are welcome and all needed. Our purpose will soon be clear.

Please share this invitation with others you know who are living in this vision already.

I am a senior citizen in the Choctaw Nation, but I speak only for myself. I want to offer everyone something tangible, something important, they can do to bend change toward hope.

Don't lose heart. Don't lose hope.

01/02/2026

The first year of this regime has left many of us feeling like we're mentally and emotionally caught in a Cat 5 hurricane or EF5 tornado, isolated and afraid, knowing there is more to come.

But here's the thing. None of us are standing alone. We have each other. We have the strength and support of the thousands of people in this Card Campaign community. The people in our local Indivisible and 50501 chapters, and in too many other pro-democracy groups to name. And the millions who turned out or supported No Kings Day.

So, when you're feeling like you're the only one caught in the storm, I hope you'll take a moment to breathe, then gather your courage and move forward. Keep looking for the light.

"You'll Never Walk Alone "
Rodgers and Hammerstein

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
