It was a long night of scrambled dreams. Not the fun kind. If I had to pick one word, it would be UNCERTAIN!
I’m imagining you can relate.
Tea close by, I flipped on the news. Let’s just say my blood pressure suggested another choice! That was really good advice!!!
A YouTube video from 2014 … 50 Years with Peter, Paul and Mary. A memorial to Mary Travers.
I wept as I sang along. (I do, indeed, still know all the words to all the songs!) Then, these words from Mary…
It’s still peace, justice, and equality… and all of us working for those things, together.
Back in my tween/teen years, when I was learning all the songs my mom referred to as hippie-junk, I discovered a place that felt like home. It feels like home, still.
The home our world desperately needs us to re-claim! Out loud!!!
We do a lot of that in the land of Intentional Creativity® encouraged by the spirit of our creativity ancestor, Caron. She taught me that:
I matter. You matter. We matter. Mattering matters.
And, NOW seems like a really good time to be reminded of that!
The question is, How???
How might I work for peace, justice, and equality… and how might you and I do that together?
According to what I’m learning from a painting just begun, it’s going to have something to do with the inspiration of a lioness!!!
Here’s the one who appeared in my latest #Apothecary #workinprogress! And, wow… was she a surprise!!!
If you hunt around online, you’ll find something along these lines for a Lioness Spirit Animal… She symbolizes strength, power, grace, and the ability to overcome obstacles.
Please hear me say that I’m not likely to begin napping in trees or prowling the grasslands for wildebeests.
I am likely to walk the world with a bit more courage. (Or at least pretend to!) I’ll assuredly keep helping folks like you to do the same, in your own way. And there are new books ahead for helping our littles grow into themselves.
ps… the lioness in my painting has chosen a name. Mary!
