Illuminating. How #narcissism / emotional immaturity cause harm via:
1) the false self
2) a one-up, one-down dynamic
3) antagonistic attachment styles (involving predation & parasitism, usually only seen *between* species, & competition)

Understanding = scope for healing

RIP Jane Goodall 😢
I remember being inspired by reading about her when I was a young child - by which time she was already eminent! She certainly put her many years to good use ❤️
Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know.

A great soul if ever there was one

Developing greater immunity to gaslighting: it's personal, it's political, and it's about survival.

'a society that cannot metabolise grief, fear, or shame in times of upheaval is easy prey for denialists [and fascists] who promise relief through simple lies.'

Gender vote share gap among young Germans. Massive.

Among women, the left, greens and social democrats have a comfortable majority; among men, AfD, CDU/CSU and FDP score 50%.

Happy #solstice! ❤️ 'Time is eternity in disguise.'

Here are two takes on this 'entangled life' at this time of year, from Glennie Kindred (practical pagan) & John O'Donohue (Celtic priest).

As the light returns, let's make room for our souls to breathe, & rise up for all that's precious 🙏
