sunlight spills into this house
of my friend
who is working
while i clean.
the cat wants to be where i am
inside sweeping
outside washing windows.
i listen to a podcast about school shootings
young children who find guns in alleys,
accidentally shoot their brothers,
cycles and cycles of violence.
i've been thinking of graduate school
(global ecopsychogolgy? transformational experiences? evolution of human consciousness? )
and working my life's passion
which i wouldn't think is unloading the dishwasher
in a quiet house with wood floors and plants
snow capped mountains creating pause with each rug
that gets shaken off the front step
and yet this chopwood carrywater
slowness somehow stills me fills me
even as i judge myself for not saving the world
better.

You have no idea how many times this exact train of thought has passed through my head. Whether or not you choose to pay for lessons with people with degrees and a slip of paper stating your qualifications to save the World has little to do with your inspirational guru GoddesSelf. In the stillness and calm of a quiet morning we can reflect on the most truly beneficial uses for our time. And when you find some answers, tell me what's up. Don't doubt your beauty and strength. You are on the path you were meant to be on. And don't forget, our collective brilliance will save us, it's not all up to you.
Mmm.... thank you, soulbrother! Words of Truth. Collective brilliance...so blessed to know you and thank you thank you thank you for sharing.
