I do feel like I am bleeding. People are talking about yesterday's event like its a sporting event, but I know too many people whose lives are now endangered over something that others are treating like a sport.
Thanks for writing this. I am catching my breath. When it's time to get back up, I am going to make a plan about what I am going to do next.
For many this is an existential, or at least material threat, not an ideological or emotional one. Happy for everyone getting their mood bumped though. Guess "we" need that.
“Burdened by reality, but blessed by clarity. And we decide. We decide whether to bleed out on the concrete wondering how this all happened. Or we make another decision. A decision to process, to heal, to build. “
thanks Van. this was a much needed palette cleanser from doomscrolling.
Thank you for this
Thank you for the words Van. I’m sorry it turned out like this.

This was so beautiful. I wrote a poem today that I want to share that may be healing for someone. Thank you, Van🙏

I am not part of your faith
I am a witch
I am a ghost
I am a divine spirit
I believe in earth’s soil
Earth’s air
And earth’s water
I believe in the animals roaming free
I believe in cosmic energy
I do not believe in man or his systems
I don’t hope, I dream
I don’t fear, I enrage
I don’t lose, I trust what is meant to be
I can haunt you
I can outlast you
I can read you
I will listen to my guides
I will uplift my community
I will concede to my moon’s fiery soul desire to demand justice
And I will do it all again tomorrow
Keep going, this is great Van. 🙏🏽
