Dreamwork To Prep For The End Of The World

I think a lot of people are frightened lately. However, it can be hard to discern fear, since most of us respond to it with reactivity that desensitizes us or distracts us from the fear. We are afraid, but we act angry. We blame. We are afraid, but we numb our fear with substances, food, or fantasy. It feels so much better than the fear.

Dreaming Of Our Little Ones And Loved Ones Lost

I am someone who has always been sensitive to time’s passage, and especially in the years since I have had children, I’ve tried my best to be as cognizant and as present to them and our life together as one possibly can be. Still, I wake up sometimes with the almost unbearable ache, wishing for more time, wishing I had known better.
