There is something in the air that has my allergies going totally berserk.. but there is also the slight breeze of change. I may not be breathing so well and my eyes might be too goopy to clearly see the election results roll in but I can feel the change a comin’. However seeing how truly divided we are is troubling. This has always been the plague of humanity. The habit of thinking in terms of us vs them. Of seeing each other as other. I am guilty of it too. My catch phrase used to be “people - they’re the worst” but that doesn’t help anybody and.. since I am a people too that doesn’t do any good for the way I feel about myself. Luckily - in sobriety I have come to like myself and all the other peoples a lot more. So, I’ve been more mindful of the way I talk about the political situation. Ive tried to remain more mindful and curious with the feeling that comes with closing off to people who don’t think or feel as I do. Trying to remain open. I just got some new Rasa in the mail… it sells itself as a sex tonic (fun) but what it really does is get your blood going and opens your emotional heart. Something I believe we could all benefit from right now. I can feel it! It gets bonus points for helping me miss coffee a little less.
Day 284: Hot salad! Kale, sweet potatoes, bok choy, mushrooms, serranos, broccoli rabe, nutritional yeast, pecans and hemp hearts. Rasa latte on the side. I steel it in almond milk with 1 date and then blend it with my immersion blender. Divine.
