Remembering To Celebrate The Beautiful Diversity Of Life

Today I went into town again, to get some supplies. Every time I go in it upsets me, I do not want to see people masked. People I know, who have so readily accepted everything that has happened. Who don't question anything and just go along with it.

I had to wear a mask today in 2 of the shops I went into, because if I don't the shops get fined, as well as myself. What a clever way to enforce this law. One that is based on very little science.

These minutes in those masks, were horrible. We are not meant to be breathing back in carbon dioxide, we are meant to be breathing in fresh air. As I stood waiting to check out, I felt for those working in the shops that have to wear them for 8 hours straight.

The minute I got out, I took it off, but even outside you are meant to wear them. I could feel the looks of others on me as I walked around mask less. I imagined what they were thinking, how selfish I am, how little disregard I have for other humans.

But of course the opposite is true.

I keep going back and forward about what I should be doing, how on the one hand I should just focus on moving forward and building my connections with those who have done their own research and know the risks involved in wearing a mask and following the current narrative.

But then I also want to use my voice, to share the information I have, so that others can make informed decisions. So that they may become inspired to research for themselves and not believe all that they are told by the media and W.H.O.

I go back and forward, back and forward. Surely they is something more than can be done, something that can help more people see what is really happening here.( I am sure some people are thinking the same thing about me)

Then I come right back to the beginning again, because I do not what to start preaching to people, I know I have to meet people where they are at and respect them where ever they are on their journey.

I hate this mentality of them and us, those who are critical thinkers and those who blindly follow. I hate this divide. But it is so prominent right now and I get caught trying to find ways to break it down.

Like I said yesterday we are all just trying to find our way, to navigate these waters and It is our diversity that really strengthens us as a whole. Because diversity brings with it new ideas and new opportunities. It is what inspires us to try something new and to create change.

All of life strives because of the diversity within it, you only have to look at the soil, that is made up of so many different organisms, plants, animals, rocks, water, to name but a few. The soil that sustains us and which we are so dependant on it. It would not survive without the diversity of life that creates it.

I keep saying how we have so much to learn from one another, how each one of us have had experiences that bring different perspectives, different ideas. When we bring those things together, we make things happen.

I know as a mother, that I want my children to have a diverse upbringing, to be around many different people, to get the chance to see how others life, how they celebrate life and how they come together to create.

So I guess I will talk with those who wish to listen and also try and plant small seeds around my community. I hate that so many get defensive when you try and open up the conversation with them. But that is something I need to let go of, this fear has really taken such a strong hold.

I look forward to the day when I no longer talk about this covid, but I also know that I can not be silent. I just have to find ore creative ways in which to do it. Such conflicting thoughts, trying to be respectful, but trying to shed some light on the truth. All the time, finding my way in all of this, whilst remembering to celebrate the beautiful diversity of Life.

I have created a Patreon account so if anyone wishes to support me, please do, I will be sharing poetry and words of empowerment.

Sort:  

From what I see the last few times at the shops, in Dia anyway, that they have stopped asking people but I think it depends who is working.
The band broke on the mask I had for the next day prepared and I just held it up to my face when in the shop, but realised one of the staff was maskless so i put it in my pocket 😝

Stay strong and hang out with the maskless! Go see jeem or colin for some sane conversations 😉

This is a situation like no other where I think we will all need to be moving forward a little differently than we are used to in our approach to others and I believe that it should be with compassion on everyone's part, no matter what they believe to be truth. Be well. 💚

Yes compassion is so important, stepping out of our own narrative and meeting people where they are at. I am trying my best to keep doing that, it is not always easy though. xxxx

❤️

I love your post here, @trucklife-family! I feel similarly, and have only put a mask and gloves on one time in the 4 months of hardcore lockdown here in Italia.

I've spoken at length about it too, podcasted and spoken in the street with folks - many of whom it turns out agree with much of what I believe - in health sovereignty, in a healthy immune system, in being interconnected.

But peoples' willingness to remain in fear-tension-control dynamics: this is precisely what's unsustainable about human culture. I love that we are challenging this; I love that even the virus is challenging this - that we're being forced to look deeper, inquiring further, to critically take apart our complacent beliefs about health, our trust in utterly corrupt (and unscientific!) medical practises and structures...
It is a big step to let go of our need to tell others to think bigger, and to let it all play out ... whilst simultaneously holding the vision for change, and taking all the myriad tiny wee steps/ making the myriad connections that are necessary for the more beautiful world to come into being by.
So much love and good vibes <3 Clare
