Every day my heart sings with the beauty of our precious green earth! By the end of the month when I return from Haida Gwaii in British Columbia—a world heritage site called the "Galapagos of the north" because the islands are so rich in wildlife—my world will have changed: the hills in California will be dry and golden, spring turning to summer.
I turn to the earth for solace as often as possible to mitigate the despair and desperation that besets us daily with the news. I hope you do too!
Listening to philosopher and ecologist Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Imagining a Better Way, I was struck deeply by her insight about the administration's attacks on the earth.
"Why is coal mining a symbol of the dying patriarchy?' she was asked.
"Because mining, fracking, and extracting minerals are all entering and violating the body of the earth," she replied.
Next day, when I was sending one more letter protesting such extraction, I got so furious I had to walk away for an hour. The earth is our mother. Just as these men in power feel free to demean and assault women, they are assaulting and raping their mother, their home. This breaks my heart.
Two Steps to "Imagining a
Better Way" - Stop harm, as Joanna Macy says. Resist, speak out, stand up in whatever ways you can.
- Imagine a different scenario, a better way; pay attention to possibilities. Vision the future you want you and your children to inhabit.
Feeding imagination creates more imagination. Seeing the divine perfection in any situation helps us step beyond duality and into vision.This is one of the ways I use shamanic journeying: to vision and dream beyond what seems possible in the moment.
Finding Support, Connection, and Spirit
in These Times
As I have mentored more and more women over the last few years, it's become clear to me that we all yearn for more community and tribal connection. We all wish we had more support in negotiating challenges and finding our true paths in this world. We've all got wisdom—gleaned from classes, travels, life experience, and trainings we've done—and struggle to
integrate it all into our unique calling.
