The biggest enemy of love is not hate, it’s indifference… something like that line has always stuck with me. It’s so true!
Love this whole thing Jez, like always, it’s honest and genuine reflections that are deeply resonating. And yes, it is a collective thing happening in the astrology right now! Everything that’s not genuine or based on real connection falls away ❤️🔥 Living the charts man, living the charts 🫠✨
I have to say, I was kinda hoping you might bring an astrological perspective to what's happening at a collective level, and you haven't disappointed! 😁🙌🏼💚✨
Thank you so much for your ongoing encouragement, and your celestial insights. Here's to real connection! ⚡🕸️
"How can anyone navigate the challenges of life without community?"
People can and people do! Granted usually require more external resources like money but it's possible. This isn't to devalue friendship or community but to me it adds to the beauty. You could technically survive without and it's fine. You are completely whole all on your own. How do you act in your relationships when you feel that? How do others respond to you when that's embodied? What does it mean to be chosen instead of needed? What does love feel like without such urgency or alarm of "how can I do x without y?"
Sometimes there are times where literally love as a verb action state is required but I lean to that being, just that, love not friendship or community. If those times come in my experience you are not concerned with friendship or community you are making the impossible happen. And fook. 🤣🤣🤣. So screwed but so going and who you are during and after that is between you and whatever you believe in. This doesn't sound like that time for you right now - relief 😮💨 and as your friend I am wishing you some kind of resolution in your friendship dynamics where by if you meet the impossible you won't feel alone but at the same time...if you do I have faith you'll make it.
Eh. Anyway I stan an unplanned Jez writing and love to you 🫂🍀
Thanks Jen. Much to chew over here. There's a lot of both/and-ness in all this.
I definitely don't feel alone - I sense the love and support of many friends, human and otherwise.
I hear what you're saying. And I definitely want & sometimes experience that complete at-home-ness in and by myself. But I'm definitely also wired for community and friendship! I think I'm personally very wary of the individual hero narrative that is so dominant in our culture, and wish to push against that at every opportunity.
I also know we're all wired differently, and honour people's choices into or away from community. I would also gently suggest that you're still in one, albeit small and ⅓ canine. I witness a strong web of love within your household 🕸️✨
Oh wow; I don’t think I was ready for this incredible work of art! I often find myself reading content about friendship, trying to understand the hurt I may have caused and how to mend the ones where miscommunication and assumptions got in the way of grace. I haven’t quite figured it out yet, and I know I’ve left some people wondering. Thank you for writing so honestly and sharing your heart with us. I’m sorry for what you’re going through amid it all. I hope Pomona & holding a massive tree helped ground you x
Thank you for these generous words Samra. I'm figuring it out in real time, it's all a learning curve and Pomona / trees have definitely helped! You are an immensely kind and good friend, and I'm learning from you as well 💚
Thank You for writing from the roiling Heart of it, it's Wild to see this synthesized in this way. and for being one of those relationships, for me. <3
Such rich and gentle reflections, Jez. Lots to take in and compost for me here, but wanted to share my appreciation of you tackling this subject, especially as it sounds like you’re in the very present midst of it. Thank you for showing up 💚

Appreciation for this, Audrey 🙏🏼 The roiling heart, indeed 🌊💚

Thanks Will. Sometimes the call seems to arrive to express what I'm in the midst of. It's uncomfortable, but it also seems to help me!
