good morning, america, from january 20th, 2021 (Patreon)

hallo loves.

i am working on a longer blog today about a lot of things that i'm thinking and feeling at the moment....and i'm a little behind in posting the new podcast (with wayne muller, it's technically already in the podcast feed), but it seems like a moment to focus on the present moment. because what a moment it is.

it's already the 20th here. inauguration day! it’s a beautiful day here in aotearoa new zealand.

so, i ask:
how is everybody over there doing? what is everybody there feeling like right now?

since the next 48 hours or so are going to feel very intense, espeically in america and especially near the capitol, where i know we have community, i thought it might be good to make an active thread on the shadowbox, as the comments section here isn't incredibly good for ongoing real-time conversations and check-ins. so please, as a community, head over there and be with me (and each other). of course, feel free to comment here, too. i'll be reading both.

but if you want a nice haven off facebook/etc to be with people going through things....here you are. the post isn't patron-only, it's public. feel free to shre it with anyone, we haven't had problems (so far) with spammers.

this is what i posted to kick things off:

here you go.

i love you all.
