One of the hardest things for me to do is to follow the higher advice given me over a year ago when this mess first started—to simply “Wait and watch.”
Taming my own desires to make something happen, or to change the scenario, or to eliminate the problem is tough. Keeping my mouth shut, my mind silent and my hands from clenching takes all I can do some days. I’m sure I’m not alone in that discomfort.
I want to offer advice here, or encouragement, or a pep talk on believing in yourself and your own abilities to do whatever you truly wish to do; but actually what most needs to be said and done right now are out of my hands and in the collective consciousness of our world to decipher and to react appropriately.
Then I ran across this image and quote from Zach Fisher and decided he is right. Just know that you’re not alone out there, and I’m sitting right here beside you feeling exactly what you are feeling but trying hard to hold my own frequency higher and higher to shift this world we all share, for the better.
And until that happens, we’ll just sit in the dark together.

Sitting With Someone in the Dark
Lately I’ve been noticing something happening all around us. A lot of people are quietly slipping into the darkness of their own thoughts. You can see it in the way people talk… the heaviness in their words… the feeling that the world is closing in on them.
The truth is that not everyone needs a lecture about positivity. Not everyone needs to be told to ‘look on the bright side’ When someone is hurting, those words can feel empty.
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply sit with them in the dark.
To listen… without trying to fix them.
To be present… without judgment.
To remind them they are not alone… even if no solutions exist in that moment.
Real compassion isn’t forcing someone into the light. It’s having the courage to walk into the darkness with them and stay there until they remember their own way out.
We’re living in intense times right now. The pressure people are feeling internally is very real. Thoughts can spiral quickly if someone feels like they are carrying everything alone.
So check on your people. Sit with them. Listen to them. Your presence might be the one small light that helps them find their way back.
