I understand the despair. And I see and feel the fear, too. And I also feel like the fear is there to distract us, like all the things society throws out there to numb us and paralyze us. Instead of letting us be ourselves and celebrate all the things that make this world, make all of creation, infinitely fascinating and wonderful and alive and beautiful. 

They don’t want us to be angry. They want us to let them keep doing what they’re doing.

They can’t win though. Because your fire is still in there, the embers still glow. Maybe it’s not time to stoke. Maybe it’s time to protect. Make sure the warmth is held, and thanked, and breathed. 

You breathe. You exist. You are. That is enough. They can’t have you, or yours. You know this. And creation loves you. Creation needs you. Creation is you.
