Simple yet so meaningful. Thank you for giving us permission. Many of us - myself included - have so much baggage that gets in the way. Let’s hold hands and together try to leave it behind.
I’m so very grateful for your sharing. Knowing that there are others moved by your love and wisdom is so encouraging. Please know that the community you reach breathes deeply of what you write.
“Arrive unburdened” might be the most countercultural instruction possible right now.
This names the difference between discernment and self-abandonment so cleanly. Letting go isn’t erasure. It’s trust that life doesn’t need us armored to meet us.
Each of your meditations is precious, true, and touches my heart. You know what I love most, reading your writing? I LOVE your mantra "We are in this together." It is a simple phrase which instantly conjures up Communityy for me -- not a pale, analytical version of it, but the actual experience of Being Community, being our interconnected humanity. I thank you for that. Each time I read it, my awakened heart rubs its eyes and says, "YES!"
And I also want to join you in recommending Rachel Madow's "Burn Order." Living, as I do, on Bainbridge Island in the state of Washington, the first Japanese community to be interred began here, and there are countless images on our island of the leave-taking on the ferries that the Japanese were forced to do. They were taken to Manzanar. The experience is lived here. The work through the interviews that Rachel does to draw a parallel to the times that we are living in and living through is magnificent.

Dear Sister Cameron,
I’m so very grateful for your sharing. Knowing that there are others moved by your love and wisdom is so encouraging. Please know that the community you reach breathes deeply of what you write.
We are, indeed, in this together.
Thank you for another good New Year’s reflection!
Your meditations have been so meaningful in 2025. Really looking forward to 2026 with you...
To meet new year, day,
discerning, intentional.
“Arrive unburdened.”

Beautifully said, Virginia. Thanks to all the commenters and to Rev. Trimble as we carry peace into the New Year. 🕊️
Thank you Cameron, as always, you inspire me. I is exactly the reflection I needed as I open the door to a new year. Peace!
