Field Reading from COP - November 15, 2025

What’s ours to lean in?

Discomfort is not a sign of weakness,
but a readiness to be with the messiness of our times.
Discomfort is not a sign of giving up or being a victim,
but the rising strengths of our voice.

Finding voice for what is often silenced,
Finding voice for what has been silenced for far too long.

Can we break open and feel it all?
Can we break open and see it all?
Can we break open and stand our ground?

It’s not easy to be touched to our core.
It’s not easy to stay present amidst the storm.

So, let’s lean in - wholeheartedly - recognising the state we are in.
So, let’s lean in - wholeheartedly - finding our voice and clarity within.

Here is to acknowledging the ongoing cycles of deception.
Here is to acknowledging the ongoing cycles of harm.

We lean in - wholeheartedly - shifting whats ours to shift.
We lean in - wholeheartedly - seeing each other through the mess.

And so, “yes” we say, “ready” we say, plowing and sensing, tapping our way through the shady dark - together.
