(90,562 posts)There are a village full of them. Once I stumbled into a cooking/baking group & rediscovered someone I had thought to have quit, hed been gone so long. Theres a grief group as well. A village or rather, the other side of this village.
Just leave out the toxicity of politics, because you are deeply wounded and deeply exhausted and all that will still be here later on, I assure you.
For what its worth, this floated into my mind late last night. I think it was because I was thinking of someone dear to me, who I dont know if Ill get to see again. Im not angry, just bereft of a valued relationship.
This meditation is on being gentle with yourself when you are in intractable spiritual/psychological pain.

Putting the Little Pain to Sleep
Thich Nhat Hanh
The rain is falling softly.
I listen deeply to the sorrow within myself.
Please go to sleep, my dear little pain.
Let me embrace you tenderly, & let my in-breath & out-breath
continue to lull you to sleep.
Day & night I water the seeds
of compassion & forgiveness,
so that tomorrow
the flowers of joy can bloom.
Go to sleep, my little knots;
tomorrow there will be a transformation
& we shall be able
to help love to be reborn again.
