Letting Go of What We Can’t Control — Field Notes with Rachel Dickson
|
01/22/26 Greetings Wildhearted Friends! Here we go...it’s threatening winter weather season. And as a major winter weather event heads across the land, here comes the next big reminder of how much we rely upon power and water sources for heat and survival. Letting go of the known. It’s pivot time. It’s shift into preparedness and planning time. And then it’s don’t let your mind spiral into worse case scenario time. Be gentle with your feelings and your heart. We know worse case scenario here in WNC all too well. As do other parts of the country ravaged by wildfires and other natural disasters. So here we go...into another potential...not-really-sure-how-this-may-play-out weather event. I just wanted to say...I’m right there with you. If power goes out...pretty much we go off grid and in many cases we go communication dark as internet and cell service wanes. Total discomfort zone land. Conveniences go out the window...and well...we land in survival mode. So I’m saying this to myself as much as to the next person...be gentle and kind with yourself. Slow down. Be present. Probably the best thing is if we can’t access facebook we won’t be drilled with all the drama and hype and such. Things will slow down just because they have to. This too shall pass. This is the way. Wild-Heart Practice of the Week:“Pause and Notice”Take a few moments today to notice what you can control and what you cannot. Wildhearted Gathering Update: ReWeaving: Mending the Divide between Soul-Self and Earth-Self

01/14/26 Greetings Wildhearted Wanderers, Hope-Dealers, Bridge-Builders and Bringers of Light! Listen...if you haven’t heard...I’m about to share something that is creating positive change in the world! The Walk for Peace! Walk for Peace through South Carolina Words cannot truly express what was felt on Monday. My friend Lana Lander suggested we go see the venerable monks and the Walk for Peace with our own eyes and hearts. They were only 2 hours away and the opportunity to see them walking...
01/07/26 Hello, wildhearted, truth-tellers, hope-dealers and beautiful souls! The Uncomfortable Middle So here we are...staring into the face of 2026. And I feel a bit...discombobulated. Sometimes the space after the old is cleared (thank you 2025...definitely a “deep clean” of a year) feels a lot like a train that’s loaded but hasn’t left the station yet. Some passengers are still saying their goodbyes, while others are just arriving, and the platform hums with unfinished business,...
12/31/25 Greetings Wildhearted Souls! I had just finished doing some work clearing brush from an embankment on some very wild and rustic mountain property and paused for a few moments to bathe in the surrounding silence. While working I noticed that I could hear traffic noises from I-26 (very deep and low truck sounds), which was a little surprising because I was quite a few miles from the highway. (Sound travels and bounces around in odd ways in the mountains.) But from this...I began to...
