I did not take into account what things I might hear, or how intensely people are not interested in the messages. Not to mention the arrogance of claiming that what I perceive …
I’ve already written how the message I’ve been getting lately is to listen carefully and follow the guidance that will only be revealed one step at a time, to move forward bit by bit and not expect to see further than that. On the one hand, reality is so chaotic now. On the other, I …
I imagine I’ll have something in this post to upset people in all of my identity groups. So maybe I shouldn’t post it.
