As I watch Democracy Now this morning, my energy level boosts up. No longer am I worried about the small issues of my mind, but I am able to see the larger violence of the world, and things that matter much more than the particularities of my life. I am able to see the larger scope of the world of which I am a part, and see all of the systems that I lie on top of. The food I eat, the car I am driving in, the oil that I use to heat my house, the clothes that I wear, the internet that I use to gain the access to information: I want to be a warrior of peace. I don't know what that means, yet.
As I did yoga this morning, I noticed myself settle back into myself. It is a practice that brings me back to myself.
What can I do? What can any of us do? I see that it's important to take the time to learn about the world. It's important to take the time to observe and reflect on my life. It's important to take in the energy that empowers me. It's important to discern what I choose to protect.
My family. Our well-being. Our connections. Our support of each other.
