This is what I most love:

“But we also care for something deeper… We refuse to let fear decide how we treat each other… We stay connected to what is real and good…”

What you name here feels so deeply true to the times we are living in.

As I read this, I find myself recognizing it as a profound call to what I have come to call Sacred Listening—a way of meeting one another, and the world, that does not collapse into fear, reactivity, or separation.

Somehow, I wish you were here, at this spiritual living convention with my community of leaders, teachers, prayers, light workers...to share your vision, wisdom, and clarity with us all...I know you are listening deeply to God, as we all are right now, and deeply appreciate the ideas you share with us. Blessings

steady, connected.

...

Something is being born...

“speak out, put pressure, protest,”

choose our becoming.

It’s really hard to make a comment, however, until the American People stand up and do something, nothing will happen until Trump’s next venture. He, his family, his Reich and the billionaires will, however, make billions in the next two weeks while America sink deeper into debt….
