This meditation takes its inspiration from the final paragraph of Philip Metres’ book Shrapnel Maps. In this meditation, I offer invitations help us sit with our grief, rage, and fear about the many crises happening in our world at this moment. By connecting to our awake hearts that care for other beings and this planet, we may find that our grief, rage, and fear can be catalyzed to help us make art that resists, that offers support, that helps us dream a liberated, equitable, and just world into being.

Below is the transcript of the meditation so that you can follow along as you listen or read the transcript instead of listening to better support your bodymind’s needs.
