Such a beautiful act of generosity to articulate for us where we are now so we are not alone and can ‘hold hands’.
I feel it deeply. Thanks for all your research, honest truth telling and deep conversations.
I feel strong and at peace.
It’s affirming.
I wrote my architecture thesis about sustainable living in 1993. Bought up 2 children plastic free, a frugal 1940s style life. We make stuff, built our home ourselves. A simple life, love, shelter food on the table.
Spent decades advocating for Nature, for Indigenous, for cycling infrastructure, for Independent candidates, for sustainability, for neurodiversity
Ran EcoGrief sessions for XR 5 years ago and arrived at acceptance.
I had made myself very sick fighting so hard.
2 traumatic head injuries from fainting while cycling hard - low blood pressure, hashimotos, inflammation, high cortisol.
I’m super sensitive, intuitive with pattern recognition skills which makes it harder in this desensitised world.
I can’t keep fighting.
Your words are a lifeline to me.
I want to be of service. I’m looking after myself so I can be here for others.
I’m know how super privileged.
The movie ‘Melancholia’ encapsulates for me. The anxious sister who can’t face modern life and the futility of it all finds strength and courage when faced with true adversity.
Time to direct our care and wisdom solidly, calmly....we can be the message with a radical knowingness, not from a frantic need to fix.
The pattern recognition stuff...that sings to me. I would describe myself this way. Obsessed with seeing links and connects and themes. Was like it as a kid and loved maths.
I need this.

Penë, we are a "type".

Yes we are a type.
We have done with the fight.
The needs...
The deep desired wishs to fix and repair.
Frantic.Undistilled.
Our bodies,our minds have beared the brunt....big.
Layed bear...motionless.
We have wept...greived.
Surrendered our hopes.
Our cares.
We Breathed.
We stared at the stars...the trees...the waters and hills.
Being stilled... in waited motion.
Paused
Sleept more.
Breathed more
Centered up.
Pivoited and pivoited.
Found our lane in it all.
Smiled a bit again.
Awkward and assured.
Willing to rise again.
Softer...gentler.
Kinder in hue.
Emerging into a unknown new.
Sarah Jeffery
softer...gentler...
yes to hand holding, being seen, validated and virtual hugs if required
thanks too for the reminder about 'Melancholia'. ... the 8 mins opening music score is brilliant and weighted
