I find it is easy to go into overwhelm. I find myself wondering what have i let my girls in for. How much of this precious rain has radiation in it... what must those people be suffering what must the ground the water the plant be enduring on and on...
And in the face of this overwhelm I often want to turn to ignoring the news. To focusing on my own difficulties and work...
But since i joined with Deborah and we made Praying True i feel like i have an obligation (the obrigado Dr Estes talks about) to turn up in whatever way i can to offer up whatever i can. In this moment. On this day. To practise returning to love.
It is not fancy or clever. It is not unique. I want to offer it up though to encourage others to turn away from the overwhelm and into love. To show up in whatever state they are in and offer up their version of love to a world that is hungry for it. If it is prayer then pray. If it is dance - then dance. If it is song - then sing. Art - make it. Food - prepare it. Loving attention - focus it.
Whatever it is please offer it up.
Here is my offering. With love.
