Hello dear hearts It's been another dark week this week, but onwards we go. The work is not getting easier, but in the face of relentless violence, we must be relentlessly bold in our love of humanity, and our desire for safety, peace and justice. This week, I've been thinking of Gabor Maté's words, 'the opposite of addiction isn't sobriety, it's connection'. And I'm thinking that the opposite (the antidote) to a lot of things is connection. The antidote to helplessness is connection. The antidote to stuckness is connection. The antidote to powerlessness is connection. The antidote to grief is connection.
