Sanctuary Dispatch | Reflections from the Wild Path
The Soft Rebellion

I know. I understand. I get how defeating it feels to wake up each day and see more.
More hypocrisy.
More rights stripped away.
More freedom of speech violated.
I feel it too. I feel the pain of it in my bones.
But we cannot let that be the end of the story.
We need to hold the line.
Hold it with love.
Hold it with light.
Hold it with the stubborn insistence that our spirits will not be crushed.
Because the moment we collapse into despair, they win.
And that is not the story we’re writing.
So please, please, hold the line.
If you’re feeling weary, if your light feels dim, come join us on Sunday, September 21st.
We’ll gather together to rally, to remind one another of our strength, to pour courage back into each other’s cups.
You are not alone. And together, we are stronger than we know.
When the World Feels Heavy

Sanctuary Dispatch
Reflections from the Wild Path
This is where the personal meets the political, and care becomes a form of resistance.
Each dispatch is part of The Soft Rebellion—a movement rooted in clear seeing, collective care, and the courage to act.
These reflections rise from the ground we stand on, and ripple through The Soft Rebellion: Local Chapter in Metro Northwest Massachusetts.
