May it be so!

“the personal is political”is not just a slogan, may those of us who want a just, safe, peaceful, sustainable world never cease from being political writers

Early morning November 6th,

Oppression saddling my heaving heart.

It's natural to fear darkness.

Grasping for a mission.

Write it every day.

Shine light in every way.

This morning, sorrow. Thank you for your words, Janisse. "I hope we American people write the radical and useful story that lets us reinvent ourselves"...we must keep on.❤️

This is exactly what I needed this morning as we wait anxiously for the votes to be tallied - the salve, the healing words, the clarity - in the face of whatever outcome.

In South Asia at the moment, where it’s the morning of Nov 6, watching election results from distance. May sustainability, sanity, justice, and health of the planet win in this election!

So well said. Love "resistance of the heart." My heart will be with you and my American friends today. May it be the compassionate and visionary leadership which prevails in reinvention and healing. xo

(btw, thx for the workshop shout-out)
