"This could be the fall of American democracy, but it might not be"
I see so much of the ugly roots that got us here - I was at Harvard for many years, and I just watched this rot - greed, exploitation, theft, whitewashing - sink in, along with a blindness to it, that it's just the cost of doing business, that behaving this way is necessary to do good work in this world. But Gandhi said that the end is inherent in the means. I say that Harvard hasn't lived by their stated values, but have I truly lived by mine?
I've been listening to a lot by Thich Nhat Hahn in the last few days, returning to mindfulness practice.
I’m so glad you have been listening to Thich Nhat Hahn. He is a balm to the soul, and we will need spiritual leaders and tools to help us navigate our rocky future. Thank you for reading and commenting. Your comments are insightful and spot on.
I love your post, Priscilla. I agree that this time frame and these events are a call for a deep awakening and a call for people and perhaps especially women to do the deep healing at the soul level. Thank you 🙏 ❤️
