Love & the Great Resist

You can only change what you love, as my daughter Cassandra says. Following in the footsteps of Tessa Lena and Charles Eisenstein, I talk about love, God, meaning and truth as synonyms. I tell the story of how Tessa became qualified to talk about love with no kumbaya, through haunting personal experience. She talks about this in her episode Coming of Age and Not Being Bothered by Monsters, which has the byline “When does a child become an adult in the modern world?” I relate this to Charles, who tells a story on the precipice of incredible in Bloodroot & a Raven. I very much recommend both of their essays. And I share the confidence of both that riding on the current of current events is going to bring us to the place I call The Great Rest, where we can be who we were born to be.
