We have all been taught to turn off, to turn away.
Turn away from the homeless person begging for change. Turn away from the impact of climate change that we each deepen with our daily actions and inactions. Turn off from our own emotions. No one had to teach us to turn off. Our culture models it with actions so much louder than words. So many of us were taught to back away from from our strong emotions - to find them embarassing, ridiculous even. So many of us were taught to keep a lid on anything and everything outrageous.
We turn off our life force, turn off our feelings, turn off our sensuality, and as a consequence, we turn off our power.
