#GoodMorning Mastheads. Not that bad of a day so far, I’ve actually been kind of productive. But I’m also very aware now that, one week from today, we’ll be less than 30 minutes from the blackness descending. A perverse part of me wonders if we’ll start hearing about #TheStorm again. We already know the whole dictator on day one thing. Thanks in advance for being there, #Mastodon family. We’re really going to need each other.

I almost passed over this article because it was another “we must have community moving forward ... etc. etc.” So many of these blogs are out and most are so vague as to not be helpful but this one is excellent. She actually goes there with being intolerant of true red flags to keep the community groups healthy and moving forward. She also points out that by letting humans be human, you stand a chance at learning to cooperate with people you may not personally like. Understand the difference between someone you don’t like and someone who is actually a threat. Those are not the same thing. Some really relevant points to consider and solid advice. Now this is specific to the pagan community but it works for other kinds of community work in mutual aid, disaster prep, etc. “Guidelines for Community Engagement” by Irene Glasse.

…am going to refer to this thread re #TheStorm. Thematically this will probably involve propagating healthy responses to what will likely be increasingly unhealthy situations. As stated in the prior the first thing should be minimizing exposures. Don’t jump into the Volcano. What is exactly relevant to your situation right now ? Not a good time to be saving the world. Take care of business. Avoid toxic mass media.Shrink your radii. Jettison the garbage. Proper uses of aggression there be

La poesía está en el cuaderno ajado
en la marca de lo que no fue
en la suma que dividió
en el mar demasiado frío
en el hastío
en el atardecer horrorizado
pero sobre todo
en las teclas de un piano.

Psicólogos sin diván,
las palabras que hacen música
entran sin preguntar
se acomodan en el recuerdo
y componen una gran verdad,
la cicatriz solo es el relieve
la duna del desierto
las 3 a.m.

I'm getting a lot of comfort from #poetry – apparently I've collected a lot over the years! - & right now, w everything so uncertain, I'm holding on to this from #Scottish #poet Kathleen Jamie's #TheStorm:

"Be brave: by the weird-song in the dark you'll find your way."

Originally I only had this excerpt; I didn't know the context, who #KathleenJamie was, or anything else – but it was one of those #ThingsIKnowToBeTrue the moment I read it.

Be brave, lovely peeps. Keep going. 💪
