“Social terror is not the paranoia of my own mind” ... THEE #jamesbaldwin _____________ Living between enlightenment and terror is exhausting. I actually have a toolkit of books, meditations, scents, routines, specifically for moments like what happened to (us) in #buffalo. Yes, US. It’s another tragic event added to our collective trauma, which of course has to be faced, processes and healed. It’s a shame, but I make sure I’m equipped as much as I can be because unfortunately, I/we have to be. I’m currently reading Welcoming the Unwelcome by Pema Chodron. It helps me ‘not lose heart’, faith, and yes, even compassion. Please find your moments to connect with love, whatever that looks and feels like for you today. We need it❤️
