If you’re feeling sad, feel it.

If you’re feeling confused, feel it.

If you’re feeling angry, feel it.

If you’re feeling dismayed, feel it.

If you’re feeling fear… I am sorry.

I myself am feeling heartbroken. 

In that heartbreak lies all of the sadness, confusion, anger, dismay because I know that many are afraid. Afraid of what will happen. Afraid of what more will be taken from us. 

My heartbreak goes out to everyone in those red and purple places where they stood by what they think is right, and yet, tyranny wins.

My heartbreak shows me that I don’t actually know anything about anything. That there is a lot I don’t understand about the people in this country — their hurt, pain and suffering. And that humbles me to my core. 

My heartbreak shows me my privilege. I am educated. I live in California. And even though I feel the financial pressures, I have more access to resources. And I don’t know what it’s like to feel what they feel. And that humbles me, once again.

My heart breaks open to all of this. As painful as it is, there is also a fire that feels good — a divine grace that seeps in as the fire burns my heart open.

That fire is anger, a sacred anger that is strength and passion. It’s courageous and ready for what’s to come.

We don’t know what’s to come. And let it be an “I don’t know.”

Stay present, my friends. 

Do not let the pictures of what may happen become a prison of your own suffering.

Trust yourself. Trust those who know what to do. Trust in the good. Trust in the love that exists.

Sit with your trust, and your love. And we wait.
