Wonderful, Danusha! What a marvelous metaphor (and hobby) for our current moment. I so love the lines about seed collection: "They need the right amount of light, a steady temperature, regular watering. They are tender, susceptible to all manner of molds and invisible ailments. They are filled with possibility." Without saying so directly, of course, you show us that so are we. Thank you.
I hold my cat on my lap while I cry. Like so many of us, I am brokenhearted, and maybe we need more broken hearts from those who seem not to have a heart at all. It is so hard to hold on the belief that there is good in all of us. We need your words. Thank you so much.
Gorgeous Danusha, may we all have someone or something to tend so that our hearts may remain soft and open in these terrifying times. thank you, thank you
It's so easy to be caught up in the moment - especially when the chaos of the outside world is so overwhelming. But this post is a reminder to look to the long-term - the bigger picture. Injustice and tyranny can never last. Justice will always win through - whether in months, years, or even decades. Or, longer-term, if not in this world, then the next. So rather than getting swept up in the tide of gloom, it's good to focus on what's within your control and keep plugging away.
We are at our best when we attend to what is vulnerable. Thank you, yes.
