Frankly, I need some “negative” energy from time to time…it keeps me grounded…here’s to celebrating the whole spectrum of being human!

Because, to be clear, there is some heavy shit going down on this planet and to not struggle with that reality is to be in denial. Denial of that might be the end of us all..we are human and what we’ve managed to create by being who and what we are is nightmarish and lovely and amazing all…

I just found this quote: “Keep inviolate an area of light and peace within you.” — Corazon Aquino

and there-in lies the trick to working with the negative…we must indeed find a source to sustain us…while not denying the dark…so that in embracing the dark transformation can happen. Alchemy.
