Thanks for this, Kimberly. Your reminders of what we CAN do are so very important. Every last bit of our power we are able to retrieve from the machine, and redirect into activities that help us and others, human or otherwise, is so very important. The finding of one's tribe, and barter, is something I wish I could figure out how to do. I was raised to be office fauna, and I'm no longer young. Like you, I'm not Christian, and would feel completely dishonest crashing someone's church just for the potential social bennies. I pray the Gods will provide.
The Only Way Out is Through...
