We Need Each Other

Do you feel it, too? The weight of the world has been extra heavy lately... we've been hit with with huge issues that are ongoing and for some people this is extra overwhelming. I have mentioned in previous posts that through covid, quarantine, shutdown, and now with massive civil unrest, we are living through collective traumas.

One way to help heal through these collective traumas is to bear each other burdens, to heal collectively.

If you have been lonely, take the tender care to reach out and rely on a safe person. Practicing reliance in loneliness can be difficult for some of you, but this is what you need- your soul needs a witness, a friend.

And if you know someone who is lonely, anxious, or depressed, reach out to them; be a support that is reliable and understanding.

In these times of chronic stress, it is normal to feel anxious or depressed, but it is not normal to be asked to isolate; even though it is necessary. Let's get creative in finding ways and opportunities to stay connected.

We need each other. Everyone needs kindness and support. And perhaps now, more than ever, we can take the time to listen to each other with an open heart, and share gracious words.

Please, if you're alone, reach out.
