In Sensory Awareness, we often ask ourselves or another: Have you landed?

And usually I feel how much more landing can occur, how much more “coming down” and feeling energy, movement, and exchange there can be.  How present am I?

Today I’m with transitions, noticing when I walk through an entry or doorway.  I pause and contemplate as I invite immersion to journey within me as I enter a new room, a new place.  Moving from indoors to out, or outdoors to in, is revelatory as to integrating liquidity and solidity in space.

I try to avoid politics here but lately it seems to require even more landing as I try to digest how close Trump came to a coup, and how even now he continues to try to destroy this democracy.

From Heather Cox Richardson today:

The extremists are bolstered by former president Donald Trump, who posted on his social media platform today that the Republicans in Congress “can and must defund all aspects of Crooked Joe Biden’s weaponized Government…. This is also the last chance to defund these political prosecutions against me and other Patriots. They failed on the debt limit, but they must not fail now. Use the power of the purse and defend the Country!” 

Experts say shutting down the government would not, in fact, end the former president’s legal troubles, but he is actually doing more than that here: he is trying to assert dominance over the country. As Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said: “Let’s be clear about what the former president is saying here. House Republicans should shut down the government unless the prosecutions against him are shut down. He would deny paychecks to millions of working families & devastate the US economy, all in the service of himself.”

It is for each of us to continue landing within what we know is true as destructiveness and lies dissolve in the swelling oceans of truth.
