In the aftermath of the of this election no matter who you voted or did not vote for, it's important to acknowledge the wide spectrum of emotions surrounding us. For some, the outcome brings a sense of joy and relief, a celebration of their hopes and dreams. For others, it brings a sense of loss, a feeling of devastation that their vision of the future has been challenged. Both are real, both are valid, and both deserve space.
Moving forward, let us hold compassion in our hearts for everyone, no matter where they stand. This is a moment to practice deep listening—to hear the elation, the hurt, the hope, and the fear. Just as day and night share the sky, so too do celebration and sorrow share this time. By acknowledging each other's experiences, we begin to bridge the divide, nurturing understanding instead of furthering separation.
May we strive to be like the earth beneath our feet, steady and strong, capable of holding all of us, with all of our varied feelings. Let us find ways to come together in our shared humanity, to see beyond the divisions and remember that we belong to each other. It is in this collective embrace that true healing and progress can begin, as we move forward—not as opposing sides, but as a community seeking a brighter tomorrow.
Let us be gentle with one another, and hold space for both the celebration and the sorrow, trusting that the cycles of change, like the moon's phases, bring us all closer to the light.
Let us bring this wisdom into our hearts, offering patience to those around us and courage to walk forward with love. From this moment, may we envision and manifest a future built not on fear or division, but on hope and the enduring light we each carry within.
Much love,
Heather
