I changed my mind three times on today's quote.
(I am "stupefied by gratitude"* for Rosemerry's permission
to share her poems widely.)
This poem speaks with exquisite eloquence to how I'm feeling.
It "reminds me such darkness is natural, essential even,
[ ...] in trusting I am part of some great process,
even though it terrifies me."
I long to skip forward to the history
my great grandchildren will be studying and learn...
"they came so close to losing everything
but through combined dedication and persistence,
democracy was saved and equality honored and regenerated."
and
"An about face was made.
They focused their united power on saving the planet
through creativity and ingenuity;
transforming waste into clean energy;
restoring a relationship to the natural world
and devising ways for all beings to thrive
with dignity and grace."
This is my page in the dark.
Namaste'
