The Underground Is Not Escape — It’s Preparation

This time of year has a strange quality.
Lights, rituals, shared meals, familiar greetings — Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, different words pointing to the same pause.
And still, the noise keeps pushing.
Information isn’t neutral.
Language isn’t innocent.
Repetition trains perception.
As Virginia Satir said, nobody lives in a vacuum.
Your inner world is constantly responding to the outer one — tone, implication, emotional pressure — whether you call it media, culture, or “just how things are.”
Stepping underground isn’t about disengaging from reality. It’s about regaining authorship.
A place to preserve your light.
Increase it.
Refine it.
This is where real personal work happens — away from performance, away from slogans, away from borrowed certainty.
No bunkbeds in a casket.
Staying true to yourself isn’t rebellious. It’s responsible.
If this season invites you to slow down rather than tune out, listen to that.
And whichever tradition you’re celebrating — Christmas or otherwise — may it remind you to return to what’s essential.
