How I plan to spend inauguration day
I’m at work today, so no ability
to go out and get drunk, weep, tear my hear out, or other options. So my plan
for today is to practice being awake. I will try, best I can, to stay present
and in my body all day. If I forget, I will gently bring myself back with some deep breaths and feel my arms and legs. (Try feeling your arms and legs, its awesome!)
With what is likely coming it
seems to me we have little room for falling back into dissociation and sleep. Not
with ice shelves falling off Greenland, or 2/3 of all wild animals threatened
with die-off in the next 30 years. Not with the threat of a Muslim registry, a
wall, mass deportation, and the loss of insurance for those with preexisting
conditions.
So today, I practice mindfulness,
in preparation for days to come.
