HARD TIMES REQUIRE FURIOUS DANCING- Alice Walker

Right now all the soothing and taming in the world won't match the energy of what we are facing as humans. I don't need to tell you what's going on, you know. But here's a juicy tidbit- astrologically the intensity of what we're experiencing is right on target as well. Have you noticed that everyone around you is finding life super intense? That your experience is mirrored in the world around you as you try to get things done, etc.? Yup. We. Are. In. It. And it's important to name that for Bodies of Culture/Black Bodies/People of Color- it's ALWAYS intense due to the deadliness and oppression of White Body Supremacy.

OTHERING #2

We "other" our emotions, and parts of ourselves all the time, without even knowing it. We ALL have feelings, coping strategies, and needs that have gone unmet or unseen. There have been times in our lives when who we are and how we've expressed ourselves have been rejected by the people around us. Or they've been so painful or shameful that we have buried them deep inside of us, we have rejected these parts of ourselves. This is not unusual, this is not unique- this is what we do. It's ok. Deep breath. Slower. Again.
