Thank you Lil Bean. I have been feeling the heaviness of the great unraveling. The context of the three stories caused me to pause and reflect. Looking forward to exploring The Great Turning. With a grateful overflowing heart for knowing Lil Bean. Glimmer #1. Quiet in the midst of my workday #2 Knowing I am connected to beautiful souls even when we don’t text, chat or speak on the phone or face to face. 💕
Love the idea of asking yourself which of the three stories you're in at the moment--I'm going to borrow that! I coincidentally listened to this episode of the podcast right before seeing your post while I took a lovely springtime walk (based in the US) through a big, beautiful old park right by my home.
So cool you are listening too. I love that so many of us are listening. It feels like there is a turning, a space, a willingness to have conversations that were impossible a few years ago. Thanks for letting me know and for sharing your lovely walk!
Glad you are enjoying it too. Yesterday I caught the one on Numbness which made me curious as I rarely get angry. My default reaction is grief and sorrow with hard things - I'm going to have to sit with it for a bit - I wonder where my anger has gone?
Yes - no doubt some truth there for me. I guess I am wondering if anger is necessary. Sorrow, when it leads to depression, is awful, as is anger, when it leads to violence. Angry riles my nervous system up in an uncomfortable way... I'm still musing!
It’s good to muse, years ago I had to train my self with rigour to stop being angry about the treatment of the Palestinians, a cause I feel very connected to. I am so grateful that I did that, otherwise now I would be a hot steaming mess of weeping and shouting.
It’s a very fine balance of still caring , but not getting angry and I am still working on it. Sometimes I question if I have become numb ? I try to take the bigger picture , that all is happening as it must for our evolution, but some days that feels like BS. More musing required 💗
YEs I love this too Gillian - great way to break things down into bite sized chunks too. So good to remember.
Glimmers for today:
1. My mum and I bringing a Mums and Bubs 'Calm Club' together in my little hometown of Trundle.
2. Two people, with babies, came.
3. The magical foggy morning.
Thanks Cherie. What a lovely thing to do with your Mum! A bit of the Great Turing right there! xo
Ooh, I love the sound of this. Will check out the pod.
Enjoy! Although you might also need tissues. xo
Wow. Thank you for this description. I really like the idea of recognising and choosing which story I am going to live in at any given moment.
I’m so glad! It certainly gives me a feeling of a tiny bit more control :)
Glimmer: baby’s laugh!
Yes! Always. My eldest had an utterly infectious laugh, thank you for reminding me :)

Sending you a hug for your heaviness but am delighted there is some quiet in your day. I look forward to catching up soon! xoxo

I am following the Great Turning and the beautiful conversations 💗 You have summed it all up wonderfully and applied it to your own life, bravo !

I thought that was fascinating, hearing Joanna get so angry.
Sweeping generalisation …men get mad and women get sad…thats how it is for me and my husband . We are all so conditioned 🧡
