All of my social media feeds are full of commentary about war between Israel and Palestine (or Hamas), facts about harm being done to innocent Palestinians and Israelis, thinkpieces on the decades long occupation of Palestine, and the corresponding grief, fear, and anger. This is on top of COVID, abhorrent things being done by the NC legislature, continues attacks on Black and Brown people and anti-LGBTQIA+ violence. The weight on our souls just seems to increase.
I always recommend taking time away from all forms of media (after all, there's only so much we can do about any of this, and constantly monitoring events only ratchets up our anxieties) and using that time to engage in something that brings people joy -- like a spiritual practice ;-) In this moment, especially as we come close to a time when, as many say, the veil is thin, I want to talk about leaning into the wisdom and strength of our ancestors.
