Begin Again

Leave a comment

“Give me everything mangled and bruised, and I will make a light of it to make you weep. And we will have rain & begin again.”

-Deena Metzger

We will. Begin again and again and again. I’ve thought a lot about this lately as our country spirals… every single unkind, uncaring, without compassion, without empathy, without inclusion and without love action/word/thought must be immediately transformed by light. With kindness, caring, compassion, empathy, inclusion and LOVE. Immediate and constant.

These too are resistance.

For anyone feeling mangled and bruised, we have you. I have you. Embraced, cocooned, blanketed, sheltered. Loved. We begin again as many times as we need to, each day, each hour. We will continue to make light in the darkness.

The Smallest Spark

“When darkness surrounds, even the smallest spark can guide the way. It’s not the size of the light that matters, but the courage to hold it through the night.”

Dipendra Tamang

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”

Why Would I?

Leave a comment

“Why would I want to cede any kind of emotional sovereignty to anyone in the ceremony of my everyday life?“

– James Vukelich Kaagegaabaw

I don’t. I choose not to. In this climate of unease and lack of basic civility, kindness, inclusion and honor – of grace – some days this is difficult. I want to react, to explain, to cry, to rant… I have learned better though. These things, these actions, do not one iota of good and change nothing. Better to live the authentic me in these times and not let my energy be dimmed or diminished. Love with fierce passion. Act don’t react my Father always said.

So here we are. And we still, always in all ways, have each other, so much LOVE, and a bounty of blessings of beauty in northwest Montana and all over this magnificent planet. We maintain who we are and celebrate the ceremony of our everyday lives. We honor each soul, and know there is no “other”.

Love, truth and energy are wished for everyone.
