I just watched the movie Princess Ka'iulani with my daughter. It is about how the United States took over Hawaii and how she tried to maintain the rights of her people. It is a moving story and a reminder of how empires such as ours are not always very kind. I like to watch movies that educate me - not always I like pure entertainment as well. Anyway, the princess died at 23 some say of a broken heart because her country was taken from her. History is not always very kind.
Found out today that there may be mental health cuts which could mean that my job would no longer be after July. I have worked in the mental health field for 8 years and I am ready for a change thus the pursuit of teaching but I have leaned on PSR as a backup so the thought of it disappearing is not very comforting. I know that teaching jobs may not be all that plentiful - strange times that we live in - I feel kind of vulnerable - the unknown - but do I let myself be swept up by fear - sometimes I have been overwhelmed in fear - not a fun place to be. I come back to the meditation - to the practice - to be inside myself as whole and finding my grounding.
