Today may be a day of grief and anxiety. It's frustrating to feel helpless. It's overwhelming trying to figure out how we will survive. Just remember that you are not alone. There are people just like you out there. People who want to love, who want to protect those around them, to survive another day. There is also nature around us. Shifting, changing, being. Go outside and watch the sky, the birds playing in the air, watch the trees swaying in the wind, having to give up their leaves occasionally to the constant pressure, notice the feel of the air on your face outside whether crisp or heavy. Notice the flowers growing through the cracks in the concrete, refusing to give up even when walked over. We are in this together. We are connected to this world. Take a moment and notice your connections. This is an amazing connection I noticed a few weeks ago. Salmon coming together after years in the ocean, finding their way through lakes and rivers to return to their home creek. Fighting for a chance at survival.
