Choosing Battles

 The world "out there" is overwhelming today. I look, sometimes simmer, acknowledge what is going on, and occasionally discuss a topic with someone I trust.

But I'm not wading into that fire. No, thank you. I stay informed enough to know what I need to do, and I already know what I can do, so those are the things I am focusing on.
The world is burning while I am tending my physical, emotional, and spiritual gardens. If I become consumed by fighting every fire, I will have nothing left to give. So I'm nurturing the soil, planting, building, watching life bloom all around me, and I am listening, observing, and loving what needs to be loved. Taking action when action is the right move for me to make, choosing my battles instead of swinging at pinatas.
I'm feeding chickens, filling waterers, gathering eggs, slinging dirt, and talking to plants and spirits and ghosts. Loving my darlings, kitchen witching, summoning and cajoling words, making and living magic. This is what I've got.
