Your courage and your honesty will inspire many who may never leave a comment, Mary.
Thank you for giving voice to the disorientation many of us are experiencing now. We have all become dislodged from our foundations over the past three years.
People who formerly shared our values, as you described so eloquently here, have become dupes and mouthpieces for a corrupt CDC and a deep-pockets Pharma. While it’s puzzling to see yoga, Warldorf and natural health advocates “switch teams” and spout Pharma propaganda while shunning you for your ignorance and selfishness, remember that it’s by design: Our predatory, warring government spent $1 billion of our money to capture and weaponize media and entertainment to promote measures designed to divide, depopulate and disorient us.
What your essay points to, though is human transcendence, our ability to evolve, grow and overcome the confines of limiting circumstances. The silver lining of the past three years is that no matter how dire our outer circumstances seem to be, we can still choose freedom and authenticity, just as you did!
I envision a future where artists like you are free to spend their valuable energy creating art that inspires us rather than being torn apart by a planned social psychosis.
Wow. I would like to say something eloquent, but I am just sitting here sobbing! It was so awful for so many of us, and hearing it in your words make it feel real once again.
Where are you in FL? Lets connect.. you can email me at TheCriticalMiddle@proton.me and we can go from there!
Oh, Mary, Mary, Bravo! What the hell took you so long?? Hahaha! All things in due time, right? I have to admit that you left me wondering about which side of the unfortunate divide you were on, but at the same time, you did give a few hints, here and there. I was tentative also about telling you my story, so I understand fully all the consternation you went through. These last couple of years have been so painful, especially trying to figure out how to deal with close, life-long friends that thought differently, and judged you as a nutcase. It was a lonely time, but at one point I was so distraught that I wrote a comment on another substack and found someone who responded to me with incredible compassion and understanding. It literally saved me.
And now, I'm so grateful to have found you to share other deep thoughts and longings with. I finally did finish Rilke's "Letters to a Young Poet." One of his last letters took me to the place that you had quoted to me. That whole letter really spoke to me, about our sadnesses and how we need to be patient with allowing them to enter into us and change us. We should not be afraid to do the difficult thing, the strange and inexplicable thing that presents itself to us. "We must accept our existence in as wide a sense as can be; everything, even the unheard-of must be possible within it. That, when you come down to it, is the kind of courage that is demanded of us." And that, is the kind of courage you have demonstrated here in this week's post. Keep spilling your guts, haha! Thank you so much! xox
