The Fire Between Us
Devotion Diaries 043: On Caring Without Collapsing
🎙️ Devotion Diaries: Frequency Reports
A series where energy meets strategy — and your ambition finally lands somewhere that feels like home.
And this is today’s spark that set it all in motion.
Let it move you.
🔊 Daily Spark
Cue to check the cosmic weather
The first sound I heard this morning was Ubuntu.
Not just a song — a soul note. Translated into:
Ubuntu: “I am because we are.”
A philosophy that centers shared humanity, compassion, and interconnectedness.
It didn’t just play.
It reminded me.
Because when I woke up, it wasn’t confusion that hit —
It was clarity. A wake-up call not from ignorance, but from disconnection.
Not what is happening around me…
…but how it’s all connected.
🔥 Mars Day Energetics
Tuesdays are for tension, choices, and building power
It’s Tuesday. Mars Day.
The planet of war. Decision. Direction. Energy.
And right now, we’re sitting in the tension between:
Jupiter in Cancer — expanding our instinct to care, create, and nurture
Saturn + Neptune in Aries — trying to grind us down into hyper-individualism and delusion of separation
It’s the classic internal war:
How do I care deeply without losing myself in the process?
For me?
Jupiter’s in my 5th house of creativity.
But Saturn + Neptune? They’re in my 2nd — money, survival, resources.
Translation:
Do I follow the path of purpose and play…
or get serious about “stability”?
My fear screams:
"You need 50K in brand deals by tomorrow or you’re irresponsible."
My soul whispers:
"What if your joy is the business plan?"
💭 The Inner Spiral
What cracked me open
I’ve marched.
I’ve reposted.
I’ve donated.
I’ve shown up — until I felt I couldn’t do more.
But today, I realized the issue was never my activism.
It was my lens of care.
Not just what I do in moments of public outrage,
but how I live that care in the everyday —
in my systems, my creative cycles, my strategy calls.
I cried today.
In between edits. In between meetings. In between pretending to be okay.
And not out of grief — but gratitude.
Because in every conversation I had…
with clients, collaborators, friends…
I saw people showing up with so much faith.
So much fire.
So much YES, despite it all.
That’s activism.
That’s belief in motion.
⚔️ Inner Tussle of the Day
Where the pressure hit and how I cracked the code
"Am I taking my finances seriously enough?"
"Can I lead a movement while still feeling overwhelmed?"
"Is having fun allowed if the world is on fire?"
Hell yeah.
But also? That sh*t hurts.
It feels like being pulled between timelines.
Between building my dream life…
…and surviving the one the system designed for me.
I used to think I needed to plan more.
Overthink better.
Control every step.
But truth is — I learn by diving in.
So instead of a perfect blueprint, I’m giving myself a creative sprint:
3-week cycles.
Use client work. Use conversations. Use LIFE as the material.
Stop waiting to be “ready” to be a real creative.
You already are.
Now build like it.
🌌 Planetary Download
From astrology to application
The cosmos are in conflict — just like us.
Jupiter (expansion, hope, collective care) says:
“Grow what matters. Let love be your compass.”
Saturn (structure, fear) and Neptune (confusion, illusion) say:
“Don’t dream too big. Stay safe. Stay small. Stay separate.”
And this?
This is the collective burnout point.
We’re caught in polarity collapse.
Truth and assumptions blur.
And people are drowning in noise — just trying to make sense of what’s real.
But what’s real?
Is this:
You.
Here.
Now.
Caring.
Creating.
Refusing to numb out.
🪞 Devotional Return
What I remembered through the breakdown
I don’t want to create in silence anymore.
Not when the world is this loud.
Not when we’re being told:
“Your voice doesn’t matter.”
“Your actions are invisible.”
“The system is too big to fight.”
That’s the lie.
Every conversation I had today was proof otherwise.
From someone launching a dream offer…
To someone finally betting on themselves…
To someone building from faith, not fear.
We are the momentum.
We are the miracle.
🌟 Creative Frequency: Your Art Is Your Activism
You don’t need to drop everything to protest.
You can drop into your truth.
Use your work.
Use your words.
Use your sprints.
Use your playlists.
Use your power.
Ubuntu reminded me:
I am because we are.
That’s not just philosophy.
That’s a permission slip to build better.
Together.
💌 Devotional Quest
→ Where are you shrinking in the name of “getting it right”?
→ What’s one creative thing you’ve been scared to share because of the state of the world?
→ Where can you channel your care into your community — not just commentary?
🔥 Final Frequency:
You are not a bystander in this world. You are a builder.
Every choice you make is a brick in the foundation of what’s next.
Don’t let fear keep you from laying it.
Speak.
Create.
Rest.
Rebel.
And when it all gets loud,
Put on Ubuntu and remember:
We’re not alone.
We’re aligned.
With care, fire, and a mic in hand,
