Thank you so much, Julie, for sharing your personal experience at this time of horrific devastation., we need to build a community of authenticity and creativity. This article does that, simply by telling the truth which we can still recognize, despite the smoke screen of lies surrounding us. We cannot allow ourselves to be taken down by very disturbed people who happen to have a lot of money because of cleverness, but without heart. The fight is not just about specific things, it is about a worldview that is threatened, a way of being. For people like us, artists, creatives, lovers of humanity, and generous servants of the people, our community is our power. This is a mythic struggle we are engaged in now, and the way forward is created with courage, community, faith, and sacred activism.

Thank you for these words of support and solidarity dear Stephanie. The power of your expression gives me goosebumps. This is truth. I wish we weren't engaged in this mythic struggle, but it seems we were meant to be here at this time with the awareness that we've cultivated. Yours seems to engender many lifetimes of wisdom. Grateful for you.
