Healing is always gonna be political for me. Not because it belongs to any side, but because my inner and outer world are interconnected.
My healing is connected to your healing, and yours is connected to mine. This is how we heal in our own ways, together.
Healing isn’t my private escape hatch from the world. Healing is how I’m taking responsibility for our world.
The more I care for and really love myself from the inside out, the more fully I show up for our world alongside others who care and are leading with love.
Inner healing work doesn’t stay inside me. It moves outward through my choices, my ethics, in all the ways I’m showing up. How I participate with myself shapes how I participate with people, power, differences and conflict.
Healing clarifies what matters. It heightens the importance of taking good care of each other. It knows the value of lifting each other up, especially our most vulnerable. And those values shape what I stand for, how I speak up and who I support.
Politics is relational. It’s we the people. It’s about how we live together. How we care. How we shape systems and institutions to work for us rather than against us. It determines how power is held and exercised. How and why decisions that affect us all are being made. And all of us includes our Earth home and animal kinfolk.
This is how politics and healing come together for me, through the ties that bind us. Through this great field of life that connects us all 🌀
I’m healing me and my family lines because I want to move differently than I ever have, inwardly and outwardly. Individually and collectively. I don’t wanna carry the weight of unresolved pain forever. I’m gonna do my best to heal that 🥹
I’m centering mutual cooperation, connections and clear-eyed awareness rather than repeating old fear patterns, divisions and the tricks of business as usual that keep me stuck.
I’m healing for me and for all of us.
And thank goodness I’m not alone. I see you there doing that hard messy inner work. Taking good care of your heart, your mind, your body and your communities. Building sustainable connections. Daring to lead with kindness, inside and outside. I see you dreaming and creating our better future without losing contact with what’s real and really happening.
I thank you for changing our world from the inside out through your brave healing journey. Rock on with your badass transformative heart. We need you 🫶
I promise my healing will always be political. Not only for me and you, for my family and communities, but for the generations who inherit the world we will leave behind. We’re connected to them too. They may never know us but they will feel and live in the world we are healing right now 💛
