This is what it is to be human, Alicia. I love that you turned to your creativity and made a thing of beauty from the pain. I especially loved the line: "Unmake my illusions." Such a great prayer for all of us. Peace and love.
Human…quite a challenge. I always appreciate the way your channeled messages are a direct line back to the part of us that has got this 100%! Love to you, Dear sister. <3 :)
"Learning to Trust Unconditionally / Even when being human feels so uncomfortable to me." I love so much of your poem, but this line jumped out at me. Most human beings are seeking freedom from discomfort. Here you're suggesting their is freedom in discomfort. It's a deep truth. The deeper the truth, the fewer who are ready for it. The further someone goes into their soul, the fewer who will recognize the terrain. The more soulful your writing, the fewer who will comprehend it. This is why reader reactions is a dangerous metric: it will keep us on the surface of things, where most people prefer to stay. I hope that helps a little. 😊
This is fascinating...because I thought I just scared everyone talking about the vax and how the game has been played...I know some drop off when I talk about deeper spiritual things (those are usually the view who follow my work because in they know that historically I have, from time to time dropped academically interesting countercultural things) - but I've written other things that touch on those deeper spiritual themes and emotional vulnerability in other areas...areas that for me are not nearly as vulnerable as my experience with my choices and speaking my truths related to various things, the vax the most obvious among them, but certainly not the only one. I feel like my role in those things is complete from the inner stand point and others will take up the mantel where light needs to expose truths of that nature. But it is really cool that you saw right to the spiritual stuff and the things that people get uncomfortable about like the vax seemed to just be a nothing for you, which is cool.
Yeah, I'm more interested in the spiritual condition underlying any political position than I am in the political position itself. Perhaps others aren't, and they were indeed triggered by your stance. Either way, if you're not writing what you believe, you may as well not be writing at all!
I'm with you - I care more about someone's heart/soul and why they have their position than what it is, as far as who I feel comfortable with as a friend. I have friends/neighbors most of whom have made different choices than me that I get along fine with and I'm totally open about who I am. I've been weird long enough they expect it. I guess I looked at who liked or commented on that post and I would strongly bet most agree with my position on that issue or are sympathetic to it if not as hard core - while I know there are others who are spiritual but have different views who I've seen like other posts with spiritual content or even controversial stances on certain other geopolitical issues who resonated. The most concerning thing for me is when people agree that censorship is okay in order to maintain an illusion of safety. If someone's position is "You don't have a right to a voice," then that is a position that isn't I feel coming from heart/soul.
In some cases it's true friendship, like my friend that I could have the ugly cry with... in others, (prob most often) affectionate appreciation from a distance or occasionally avoidance/ tolerance...mostly appreciation from a safe distance with little overlaps of delight and deep convos from time to time. I do look forward to someday having more community beyond sidewalk convos - concerts, laughter, potlucks., easy going skill shares, improv... it's the longest I've lived in any one place (over ten years) and it is truly fascinating to see it evolve as an ecosystem. Thanks again for listening and exploring this territory! <3 Have a wonderful each moment, day...all :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to read it and care with your reflections! So appreciated and wonderful!
I'm left with the same question...I respect if you don't want to say.
