Look, I'm not gonna put rocks in my pockets and walk into the sea, but I am seriously considering selling everything I own and becoming a bog witch, because JFC, this country, society, and world.
Still taking all your Covid precautions? 1,000 still dying every week, including one of my best friends.
Been thoughtfully working on reducing your carbon footprint? Undone in minutes by corporations & billionaires.
Vote in every damn election? Fascists have the courts.
Economy doing great? How ya doing with annual increases that haven't kept up with inflation in years and the constant threat of layoffs? Or just trying to find work?
Trying to be an informed citizen? My god, the unrelenting firehose of bad news out there.
It's all so much. It's not your imagination. I know so many folks who are having to put all their energy into just surviving - thriving left the chat a while ago.
Grab any and every bit of joy you can. Don't feel guilty about it. Big, small, medium joy - grab it.
Today it was the farmers market and cherry tomatoes for me. It's small and silly, but I love it and dammit, we need joy. And I even had a laugh - wherever my late friend is, he's mad he missed 4/20.
Hang in there. I know it all seems futile, lord knows I do, and I'll admit I'm still going cause I don't know what else to do, LOL.
But I'm still keeping the bog witch option on the table.
