Blessings Darlings!
As I'm sure all y'all have noticed - I have a big focus on my garden this summer.
There's a reason for that. One that was strongly reinforced today.
Our finances are finally stable, now that the Chubby Hubby has a job that can pay the bills for his business. Go Chubby Hubby! BUT -
Exceptionally destructive Capitalism continues unabated. The Oligarchy continues unabated. Climate change continues unabated.
Us having disposable income that we can use TO HELP THE OPPRESSED - and increasing our disposable income by things like growing our own food, buying everything used that we can buy used, buying less in general, etc - means that while we work to change the system, we can better help mitigate the effects it has on others.
We can contribute more money to the local food bank. We can contribute more money to environmental groups. We can patronize local small businesses where the money stays in West Virginia. We can keep our money in the LGBTx community. Our contributions can help smooth the path for climate change refugees.
This is the goal we are working on. One step at a time. The best we can. Tikkun Olam - rebuilding the world. The Kabbalists who read this know the Qliphoth we all have the job of dealing with.
It sort of feels as if we're finally getting some traction in getting past the Vice of Malkut (yeah, I was taught ancient, not Modern, Hebrew back in Hebrew school.) Maybe even getting close to the Virtue of Malkut - discernment. Maybe.
It's the Good Stuff.
Frondly, Fern
