Also, Texas flooding, portion of victims were all little girls. Texas leaders have mentioned the shelved bill this year that would have provided better emergency response in the event of flooding…that they didn’t bother with. I think of the Pied Piper story and lost children, it reveals corruption of the adults, very masculine wounds, societal masculine wounds. It makes horrifying, terrible, awful sense.
I care about kids, I sacrificed years for them, as part of service, to those very circumstances. I am resolving a lot this week. I stop and cry, I mourn. I pray for Gaza. I love Israel. I feel my prayers have power I never knew they had before. I also ask, “what more can I do?” Due to all of this week, being beyond tremendous, what it has brought, what it has dissolved, I know to grieve my own shit right now and how, to put it mildly, lol. I won’t step out of my own circle right now. For God’s sake and the sake of the whole world and for my heart’s sake. So I can hold space for them, all of them. Far, far more helpful than identifying. I feel that now.
Gaza & Israel, I see capital victim identity looking itself in the mirror. Like really hurt siblings, neither wants to quit. They are so wronged. They are so right. Who will let go? How? Great loss. Like very masculine Texas. What they love the most only will break the heart open.
I was just thinking of the play, Romeo and Juliet today, the families, their losses, the lesson. I thought it was corny, wondered why it came to mind today. You shed light on it! This was after I cried and prayed this morning…. for Gaza. Journey from victim/vigilante to forgiveness/faith is a shocking burning hell of a walk… I am not unfamiliar with it. 😉
I pray your heart is doing okay today!🌹
