Sneaking through the Cracks

I deliberately stopped reading the news a month ago. I had stopped last November - but the urge to dive in and “be informed” pulled and tugged. I found myself diving into coverage comparing middle, right, left commentaries on all of the above, etc.

Until once again, the undigested vitriol of a mass PainBody frenzy became so stark. So confronting. So EXHAUSTING.

The Universe also sends me fairly regular reminders that focussing on such negativity is NOT good for any part of me (“ecumenically, spiritually, grammatically” - thank you Capt Jack Sparrow.)

So, I don’t deliberately click on any news. AND YET!

The world of text alerts and email requests means I know what is happening because the most click worthy headlines wiggle in.

Sneaking through the cracks the little fuckers - and for some reason I am getting the same ALL CAPS YELLING from BOTH SIDES.

Bet you couldn’t tell which side sent these…

“Democracy is under assault”

“RUSH $25 and we’ll MATCH IT”

“We will not be intimidated”

“Do you want to meet XX [famous person]?

“This moment demands courage”

I am SO TIRED of everyone being angry and upset and yelling at each other. My judgement brain/Cranky Monster loves judging all sides for such childishness.

So here we go. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.

I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.

Hoʻoponopono

Again and again and again.

Perhaps I need to tattoo this on my arm to see always for trigger moments. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.

I am sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I love you.

I don’t know how we are going to get out of this mess - but it certainly feels as though the collective still needs to do lots of emotional flushing.

Hopefully the emotional flushing and PainBody feeding will start to trigger enough people that it will stop.

I am sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I love you.

I hope so.
