Settle down, my love

Channeled poem received on Jan. 27, 2026

---

You are gonna be okay.

You ARE okay.

Be here. Right now.

Take a deep breath.

Do it again and again.

Settle down, my love.

You ARE afraid. Rightfully so. Feel it AND release it. Let it move you to action. Any action. One step at a time. Please don't overthink, perform, or pretend any longer.

You ARE feeling uncertain in all the chaos. Remember your teachings, causing fear + uncertainty is a destabilizing tactic used to distract, divide + manipulate.

Settle down, my love.

You ARE being lied to. You know it in your bones. You are tired.

You've seen this movie before. This one gets zero stars.

You know the game. You set down your glove. You aren't playing it any longer.

You know the drill. Pay attention. Remember your trainings. AND, take care of yourself.

Settle down, my love.

You ARE outraged, disappointed, frustrated, sometimes overwhelmed, AND often exhausted.

You ARE allowed.

You ARE ashamed + embarrassed. Set these down. They are heavy AND not yours to carry. They NEVER were.

Settle down, my love.

You ARE still here.

Be here. Right now.

Remember, you have the ability to see through the fog, to separate the signal from the noise, and to connect with your ancestors. Remain open with a loving, compassionate heart with an eye towards justice.

You ARE resilient.

Settle down, my love.

You KNOW what you can do. Do that. Start small. Remember, you don't have to boil the ocean.

Pace yourself. Rest when you need to. Take good care of yourself, your loved ones, and your community. Ask for help. Remember, you ARE a helper.

Settle down, my love.

There is work to do.
