I always find your posts so powerful, Beverly! I find this to be true for me, too: "Being active, i.e., attending a protest, a political meeting, a postcard party, a whistle-pack-creation party, undoes feelings of hopelessness, at least sometimes; it comes with the uplift of community, the sharing of fear, sadness, joy. There’s always laughter, often singing. As a spiritual teacher once told me, we drown in deep water without stepping stones. Other people are the stepping stones."

I love what you write Beverly and Im sorry that I haven't told you so in writing until this moment, Always I find much to ponder and puzzle.

Years of sitting with clients had allowed me to find some peace in letting go of outcomes, though what we experience now hits in a different place, feels more personal. What we would do without community I don't even want to think about. thank you for sharing yourself in this way. It's a profound contribution.
