hot sweaty weeds 🤺🌱
Hi friend, what has been the source of urgency in you? It is Sagittarius season and while my astrology knowledge isn't amazing, I know when my double fire sign (sag sun/moon, i know) heart wants to sing!! 🔥In seasons and moments of excitement (birthdays, going out, holidays) my hot fiery extrovertness gets excited and loves to do the most. I am unsure if it is the last year half + (probably) or maybe I have always bee this way, but I am finding I need to buffer my output more than ever. I am taking one project at a time, I say yes to one activity a day, I write in all caps in my schedule DO NOTHING, and its not easy. I draw a boundary I know i need so firmly and the demons of capitalism inside me rage. I get hot and sweaty, it is such a physical reaction inside of me that I know change and growth is just on the other side.
And it makes sense. It makes sense that if we are going to pull up the weeds of capitalism, patriarchy white supremacy that they are going to revolt. They are going to dig their heels in and pull the rest of the garden up with it. It makes sense that we will get hot and sweaty and the systems inside of us will scream like the wicked witch of the west. But I think this is it. When we talk of inner work it is truly these moments of saying no, of removing ourselves from expectation and placing yourself in rest, away from the systems that demand our exhaustion to continue.
So while I am SO! EXCITED! TO! BE! OUT! OF! MY! HOUSE! I am also moving at the pace my body needs and not the screaming weeds inside my head think I need to be moving at (and I will let you know if/when they stop screaming)
