On this week’s episode, we look at cluttered drawers, how they
become dumping grounds for random odds and ends and how they call
us to action! Every once in a while, our cluttered drawers need our
attention, need us to empty, sort and organize. Not always easy to
acknowledge, but important to address.
I think of a cluttered drawer as metaphor for life. How much
personal clutter do we ignore, let build up until it shouts at us
to attend it? How much collective clutter do we dismiss, in hopes
it will go away… if we simply forget about it? As we end the month
of February, “Black History Month”, “Black Futures Month”, how much
racism clutter remains in our personal and collective drawers? How
can we individually and as a country, steeped in systemic racism,
unpack our clutter, sort through the items we prefer to ignore,
minimize or pretend don’t exist?
Hoping this inspires you to take the time to empty out your
cluttered drawers, physically and metaphysically, personally and
collectively. May we have awareness of what lies under the surface.
May we take responsibility for the wounds that get ignored, buried
and dismissed. May we be inspired to take action that clears
the clutter and promotes healing. Enjoy the podcast!
