From @jenlemen, whose #PathOfDevotion 10 Day offering starts June 10th -- LET'S DO IT TOGETHER::::: LINK IN BIO • I’ve been holding this thought quiet for the last two weeks. Here it is: We’re going to make it. The world as we know it will end. Absolutely, completely. But us? We’re going to make it. And by us, I don’t mean you or me, but the “we”. The part of us as humans that knows how to be close, the part that knows an embrace is as nourishing as bread. That connected is a stronger currency than cash. That being with is the fuel that keeps the fires going long after the lights go out. To get to there from here will be brutal. There will be death, destruction, loss, despair. But underneath the rubble there will be seeds of hope that feed new things. Our work between now and then is to protect the seeds that will survive. To become loving, breathing seed banks where the stories of togetherness take root because on the other side that will be our home, the shelter we offer one another. The creativity that comes after everything else is gone. This is no small task because we are all woven right now into a fabric that makes it so what we can make and put in our bank accounts is the only thing that can keep us warm, and that isn’t bad or anyone’s fault. It’s just how it is. But beginning to see that exercise of scrambling for cash as an exercise in not biting the bait can keep us in the real game which is to love no matter what and to engage no matter what in the work of carrying each other to new worlds and new lands where it’s not just every man for himself but where it’s us for us. You for me. Me for you. Our capacity for the we ever loving ever growing. I can feel the hard times coming and all the ways they are so deeply here. But there are stories that pull the string on the blankets that won’t always warm us. Stories that unravel us until we are skin to skin, bone to bone, flesh to flesh, determined to make this hateful world our own. We have to hold those stories, be those stories, crave those stories, become those stories. They are our gift to the future, and will be the ground for a new heaven and new earth. A new world. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQuaauAWSk/?igshid=4jpd6z7411w
