    Liz’s post has scared me too, although I have been feeling the same things lately. Pausing is good, unraveling not so much.

    You all scared me so I went to see Liz’s blog post. I understand the stepping back. The not knowing what to say or feel. These are terrifying days. And tomorrow will be even more so—just because that is how it goes.
    Strange soldiers in desert gear with masks in Portland, Oregon and no ID arresting people and taking them where? Will we see them again? Are they in cages? It’s all WAY TOO MUCH. So Dick Cheney.
    Be well, be safe.

    I read her post too and Jude’s and had my own thoughts. These are fragile times.

    I read and listen to the same radio and podcasts you do…yes, bravo Virginia workers, but I can’t help thinking about the poor chickens who can’t organize or petition. Still, as was said by others, unravelling entirely is out of the question, but pausing is mandatory for survival. Stay safe Dear cloth buddies. You are precious to me.

    Read here this morning and had to come back after listening to the OnBeing at: https://onbeing.org/programs/living-the-questions-its-really-settling-in-now-the-losses-large-and-small/ I had listened to the original interview with Pauline Boss a while ago and liked it. This is an updated continuation of sorts addressing some of the concerns going on across our cloth community in these strange times. She talks about ambiguous loss and that what we are experiencing is grief. Although we don’t have control over a lot of what is going on we do have control over deciding to live with it and accept it. Back to what grace calls agency. We still have agency. Love to all in this virtual circle.
