"I have to get up and walk back into this moment instead of narrating it." YES. I leave in a few hours to hike the West Highland Way in Scotland. 100 miles in 10 days. Time to take it all in, to be present to it all. I have been trying to prepare and the last two weeks my body brought me to a standstill. I had to stop. So I am going now, where I am now, and trusting it will all be as it should be.
There has been so much movement and awakening and happening and change the last few months. It happens bigger and faster than I can share with others. I can barely narrate it for myself. I practice trusting that it's integrating without my narration and share when I can, in fragments it feels like.
Mmm.... I think a future society will tell a mythology of our times as a split society. Ones that live in a tech-driven screen-driven disconnected,urgent world and those who live in a present, reality based world, who show up face to face in their activities. These two world look very different from each other, hence a split society.
This is why I have chosen to spend part time in two countries... I do not want to be a FaceTime grandma, I want to be a face to face grandma (as much as I can).
Jo, I hear you. I keep trying to ask myself about my own blind spots. A family member recently shared the argument that this screen-driven life is part of human evolution and that maybe that's meant to happen... we are meant to become more robotic and there is some larger divine planning around that. It's a hard one for me to swallow but I'm trying to be open. I will continue to resist because I love humans and animals and earth too much, but I want to be open enough to what is happening in order to try to understand it... oof.

Dianne, ooooo! So excited to hear about this walk. You are on it right now as I'm responding to you. Yes, "integrating without my narration".....
