Look at your sweet, innocent self, full of joy and smiling with such presence.

Thank you for this today. It was a perfect compilation of how I’m starting to feel.

If we are to find joy, we must practice joy and gratitude together. Thank you for letting the world experience your process and how you are handling the latest events.

And the Cat Stevens song is perfect! Can’t wait to blast it while I putter in the kitchen later today.

I see Sophia in that picture of you! And I absolutely love that song. My sister recently started a "Dance Therapy" thread on Whatsapp so I chose that song and "danced" to it to get out some nervous energy before a big menopause event that I moderated. It helped. Thanks for the reminder of the song and that love can be a form of resistance. Your posts are always so comforting. I was psyched to see this in my inbox!

Gosh you're right about that photo -- I didn't see it and now I can't unsee Sofia in it! Thanks for reading and how exciting about moderating a big menopause event!

I would not call myself a Cat Stevens aka Yusuf Islam fan, but that's a fun, well-done song and does fit the moment. The moment feels collectively precarious and dangerous, but like Pema Chödron and others say, we have to welcome in the uncertainty, learn to live with the carpet being pulled out from under us. And meanwhile protect our peace, like you say. Yeah, no one said it would be easy.
