Something not yet here

Hello, everyone. Happy Sunday night (Monday, by the time you read this).

Oh, it has been a week.

It’s hard to know how to navigate these days. My heart breaks for the harm and injustice I see; also, I had to make a sandwich for lunch.

It feels like those two things should not exist in the same sentence, let alone the same day. How does one function on multiple levels at once?

When I stop to think about this, I know the answer.

I have to ground myself. I have to make sure to take care of the basics. I have to breathe and walk and connect to nature (that is what works for me, you may be different).

I have to remember there is a bigger picture at play here. I shouldn’t spend my energy and focus spinning in panic; I don’t want to be a headless chicken.

What does that look like in practical terms? This week it looked like sarcococca.
