Today's podcast from The Daily (NYT) dives into the "deal" Trump made with the EU that looks good for us (on the surface) but is actually another strong arm tactic -- this time against our allies.

“Each of us is called to listen our way into the underlying truth that connects us all, though we experience this calling as a very personal journey, the way plants and flowers grow and blossom differently, though they all root in the same soil. This rooting and breaking ground until we flower is the necessary art of coming alive.
“As Rainer Maria Rilke offered in his legendary Letters to a Young Poet: “Go into yourself and test the deeps in which your life takes rise; at its source you will find the answer to the question whether you must create.”
“I would take this further, because I believe we all must create—that is, we all must root and break ground until we flower. This necessary art of coming alive is not reserved for the few. It is every person’s destiny, though there are always things in the way. Not because we’re unlucky, but because this is the nature of our time on Earth.”

DO NOT FORCE THE HEALING
Do not force the healing, my love.
Healing is always unforced.
It happens when the conditions are right.
When there is just enough love, attention, presence, slowness, trust.
When you aren't trying to heal.
When you aren't trying to awaken.
When you aren't "trying" at all.
When you open your arms wide to the Now.
Fall to the ground.
Let yourself feel the rage, the grief, the loneliness.
Let yourself break. Let yourself feel worse, if you need to feel worse.
Speak your raw truth. Upset some people. Bring others closer.
But don't force yourself, my love.
You have to let go of the result, the agenda, the goal.
And infuse your 'unhealed' experience with love.
Drench your pain, your sorrow, your longing with warm awareness.
Saturate the moment with yourself.
You have to create the conditions for healing,
but you cannot do it.
The ego will rebel at this news.
Your heart will rejoice.
Mysterious forces, ancient and unspeakable, do the healing.
You only
have to get out
of the way.

To my dear Republican friends and family. Even though we may disagree about religion or politics, I'm usually very careful not to bring up anything that might cause a ripple in our relationship -- because that is THE most important thing to me! So, it is with an open heart that I make this exception today.
VP Harris, with the support of over 100 Republican leaders, is reaching out with an urgent message. I hope you'll watch. 💞
