I am angry…

*surfaced after the 4th of July shooting at Highland Park, IL; republishing after the Madison shooting at Abundant Life Christian School 16 December 2024 Madison, WI


I am angry…

… because I am a woman 

who has birthed Life 

into the world

AND watched men so carelessly & indiscriminately extinguish this Light!


I am angry… 

… because I am a woman

who has had and has made 

choices in my Life

AND justice reversed this progress in the name of religion


I am angry…

… because I am a woman

who has been marginalized, mistreated and raped for her resources 

AND seen men who believe in their own providence do the same unto people of color, indigenous tribes and Mother Earth - ALL for the economy of money, power, and status 


I am angry…

… because I am a compassionate woman opening her arms and her heart to love & include more

AND we label and categorize and discriminate down to a descriptor that divides US 


I am angry…

… because I am a woman

who is tired of the hate and the anger and the violence that tears US down and apart

AND who sees ALL things as ONE, who yearns for peace and prays for Unity

When we are not judging between one extreme or the other we can allow radical acceptance versus expectation and simply embody what shows up moment to moment.  I am certain that we can all find examples where we have embraced our (w)holiness and pushed away our vulnerability. What makes one different than the other? It could be circumstance. It could be our current emotional state. It could be our own opinion & judgement around the situation. We think one is a weakness and the other a show of our strength; when with awareness we realize we ebb and flow betwee...

  the ground is tilled for planting stirred up, unsettled exposing raw soil to the elements awaiting to receive the seed  some ground is frozen some is soft from a daily dose of light who knows what is most fertile it mostly depends on acceptance the details are immaterial where we land, how we grow temperamental to what gets thrown at us we learn to survive or thrive or die when a flower grows wild it can always survive, wildflowers don't care where they grow* just let the love & the light shine in nature knows the way to go there's a Spring in my SOUL yearning to BLOOM and must abide by nature's time  seasons and cycles that bring new LIFE #spiritliveswithin #intotheGRAYzone #pause #breathe #engage  #aPlaceCalledHOME #theRadicalAcceptanceofALL  *inspired by Wildflowers; Tom Petty
