Thank you, Sarah. Your mention of western privilege in the intro paragraph hits hard.

I don’t intend for that to minimize anyone’s feelings (trauma is trauma). It’s just…impermanence. Everything changes (and this will, too).

We have taken our democracy for granted. Never ever did it think we could be where we are now.

What a fabulous post on the pain body and presence! It includes so many helpful tips, especially around fierce presence. I'm working hard to maintain mine, and Miss Foxy's sweet fur helps. Like Ann Price, your mention of Western privilege hit hard, but in all the right ways. There's so much we've taken for granted. There's grief in potentially losing it.

Thank you, Lisa 🙏🏻 This means a lot to me. And also yes, of course there will be grief if that happens. 🫶🏻
