I’m taking a break for Lent. Stay strong, friends. Rest when you need to. Keep resisting and doing what is good.
Keep loving.
See you after Easter.

May God grant us a holy Lent wherein we do to others as we want others to do for us; we care for the poor, the sick, and the dying; we welcome those on the margins to join hands in the circle of faith; where we do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly.

A barred owl has repeatedly appeared in daylight hours right by my therapy cabin. Today it sat right in front of my client’s line of vision all morning. I feel honored, as if an elder is holding space with me, imparting some deep wisdom and protecting us as we do deep, sacred work.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.
