These days when we have so many reasons to stay vigilant and work to protect our democracy, our freedom, and our values in addition to the necessary tasks of providing for ourselves and our families, it is easy to become overwhelmed. Using our thoughts to navigate this tension can be helpful. I find myself observing places where I am overreacting to small stresses while shutting down and turning away from large ones. It calls for juggling and balancing. I find that keeping it small is helpful. What small step can I take today to move toward the change I seek? Rest, recovery and reflection are essential but so are courage and commitment and caring.
This poem speaks eloquently of this. Onward with love. KAS
