This, to me, looks beautiful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want to know what it actually was? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The spot where my son vomited on our drive from Melbourne to Lake Crackenback over the holidays. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was the first of six such stops. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the middle of it all, it started to rain and thunder. It was new year's eve and we weren't sure whether we were going to make it through the dangerous windy roads before dark. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, next time you see someone's highlight reel on social media, remember this; every picture tells a story, but it will not be the whole story.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I find myself triggered by other people's shares, I try to remember this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Beyond that, I turn my focus from them to me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because what someone chooses to share on socials is entirely their business. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, how I choose to respond to those posts is entirely in my own hands. Feeling triggered by someone else is almost always a sign; that there's something lurking within that needs your focus, and/or is ready to be cleared out.

Women have never had more control over the way the

Women have never had more control over the way they're viewed than in the 21st century. We have more say over the narrative we present to the world about ourselves, our businesses, and our lives than women have ever had. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which doesn't mean things are perfect. Clearly, they're not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But it does mean that things are changing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And so, one of the most important endeavours at this time is to turn within. To clear out the inner blocks that are holding us back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, there's much outer work to do. But if we do the inner work first, the outer work becomes more effective. You behave differently, you have different conversations, you are more confident about connecting with the people who want to hear from you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can tell you until the cows come home that it's safe to be yourself online. That you don't have to pretend to be someone you're not. That you don't have to live up to other people's standards. But until you do the inner work of clearing out all the stories that tell you otherwise, this will just sound like a bunch of inspiring words. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My prayer for this time is that we learn to live differently with the land. That we understand that we are in relationship with her.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That our relationship can’t be hierarchical - where humans are superior to all and nature’s at the mercy of human desire and want.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My prayer is that we come to understand that the function of nature is not to be extracted from, or bulldozed through, or shaped into forms to please man.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That the land is to be respected and listened to. That consent becomes the foundation of all relationships. Amongst human beings, and between humans and the earth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That we seek consent from her before receiving the gifts of the planet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That we take less and give more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That we ask her which of her gifts are appropriate to receive, and what we can offer in return for her bounty.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To do this we must become much more attuned to the spirit of the land.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To her voice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We must learn to listen deeply.
To work with the elements.
To value all forms of wisdom.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Humans have aggrandised themselves for far too long. Going forward, the relationship between humans and the environment must always be grounded in reciprocity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The white colonial mentality that created a fearful and controlling relationship with nature must end. To do this, we must face the fearful and controlling aspects within ourselves.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s time to bring harmony to this planet. To achieve that, it’s us who have to change. Old and unconscious ways of thinking must be examined and released. Humility must be learned.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s time to honour the Feminine that has been disrespected in all her forms. Particularly in her finest manifestation; Mother Earth.

There are (many) moments that call for loud and assertive voices to clarify what is ok and what is definitely not in this world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Never be afraid to speak up against demagoguery. It's important that rational voices are heard right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And never be afraid to speak up against systems of oppression, including white supremacy. Systemic oppression perpetuates itself only as long as those who benefit from it, turn a blind eye to it.

Me, watching the world news this week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To our friends in the US; I'm so sorry your democracy is under threat by thugs and demagoguery. (Although, 🙌 to you Georgia in your Senate races. 💙) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To our friends in the UK; I'm so sorry you're in stage 5 lockdown. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To our friends across the world who are suffering in any way; we are here for you. We may be across the seas but we are holding out our hands to you. 🤝
