Month: June Themes: resources, care, redefining routine, self-mastery
RESOURCING AND REDEFINING CARE
Hi friends! I am back, and wasn’t sure if I would be back in all honesty. Quarantine is fucking weird if I could be frank. This pandemic is showing the gross inequality that many of us are working to dismantle feeling both fired up and inspired as well as defeated and hopeless simultaneously. THIS IS HARD. It is difficult to watch white privilege being shown grace like never before, while POC groups continue to be disrespected, heavily policed, judged and at worst wrongly eradicated.
I have no clear cut answers for the injustices that continue to happen. I am a tired old soul who would simply like to rest and not be glared at in public just for existing. THIS SHIT IS MAD fucked, we are collectively fatigued and feeling disheartened and discouraged. For those of on the frontlines THANK You for your bravery, courage. I know this is the most frustrating, exhausting time to be in. To parents, who continue stretch beyond their sanity to keep their children alive, healthy and informed, and also nurture loved, at often the expense of your own inner child. My heart goes out to you as well.
For those of us who feeling mad depressed, scattered, unfocused. Know that it’s a response to collective trauma. For those feeling anxiety and rage, know that this is a natural response to collective trauma. Shit is unfair, and we really have to find the inner resources, to put our heads and hearts together to find relief and new building as the veils and masks continue to melt with the summer heat. SHIT IS REAL, the world that you think you are going back to is gone. REALLY.
UGH. You know I am in the feels like you. Miscommunications with family. High tensions low patience. Remember to take breaks and give yourself the real talk about how you are feeling about everything. Recognize how you do feel will change moment by moment. Acknowledge and understand that you will feel several things at the same time, and that is very human. Finally, note that you can still access pleasure and joy even though things are uglypretty in the uncertainty.
As I shuffled the tarot this time around, I used the cards to give prompts. The cards that I pulled:
7 of pentacles, reflection on resources.
1. What are the resources that are available around you and in you?
The World Card, self-mastery completion of cycles.
2. What is being mastered within yourself and spirit?
8 of pentacles: work, discipline, method
3. How can you use this time to create new routines that support the inner child, creativity and community? Is there a need to redefine routine?
As always take care of each other. Wear masks if you can, practice social distancing. Remember that you are allowed to take breaks as much as you need. We need you out, we need you proud and we need you caring.
