Bonus: Chop Wood, Carry Water
Manage episode 448919868 series 2584273
Yesterday morning, like many of you, I woke up to the devastating news that a convicted rapist with countless indictments has been re-elected to lead our country. As I sit with this heavy reality, I’m thinking of all of you—especially women in difficult relationships and those in marginalized communities facing fresh threats to our freedoms.
Today, I turn to a Zen Buddhist saying to help me keep going: “Chop wood, carry water.” It reminds me that there is nothing you must do in life other than what must be done. So today, I stare into the void, speak to women, reassure my son, and cuddle my animals.
Chop wood, carry water.
And later, I will continue the fight.
Please know that I will never stop fighting for you, for us, for our children and their futures.
