This post is the fourteenth in a series that shares my Divine team talk (conversations with and insights from my Divine team) since March 2020. (In case you missed it, you can find the first here.)
(Some of these posts do not contain talk from my guides, but I included them because they do reflect the change in the way I talked to myself and the way I thought, as a consequence of continued talks with my guides.)

Riots continue in 23 states. The National Guard has been called up in several locations. The cops are using tear gas, though it’s illegal to use [even] in war. Curfews have been instituted in many cities with protests, but especially [in those cities] with riots and looting.
So many people have switched from the helplessness and fear to anger and rage. It seems to give them the illusion of control—or at least to help them feel as if they are doing something.
I’ve seen comments from several energy workers along the lines of “yes, this whole situation is uncomfortable and sucks to go through right now, but it’s going to be so much better on the other side of it,” like humanity is going to suddenly uplevel overnight and we’ll all be singing “Kumbayah,” or something. I agree it’s pretty crappy to go through right now and we have the opportunity to come out of it as a better species. But we have choice, so we also have the opportunity to come out no better or worse, or to come out worse. Probably if I expressed such a thought, I would receive “Only positive thoughts here!” or “Your thoughts shape your reality, so be careful saying such things!” in admonition. Yes, my thoughts shape my reality, but I also engage in a shared reality with other people, and they have their own realities.

In asking my guides what I most need to know today, I was given card 40 of the Spirit of the Wheel deck: Strength, with the key words Offering Assistance, Mediation, and Patience. I immediately thought of the [publishing client] work that I really don’t feel up for today.[1] . . .
You are a natural mediator and very good at encouraging others to do well. . . . Accept the responsibilities coming your way by drawing upon your inner reserve of strength. The strength card is never given lightly.

So much unsettled. And COVID-19 still affecting our lives, plus police brutality and riots.

The cost of things has been affected in addition to supply. Since the COVID-19 pandemic reached the States. . . . [our family has] been over our weekly budget every week since it started. . . .
Looks like I’m going to have to get more creative with our meal prep and stretch [things] further.
I’m reminded of what I used to hear was a Chinese blessing/curse: “May you live in interesting times.”
Between COVID-19, an election year with all its ridiculous political maneuverings, and the explosion of race relations, this time is beyond interesting. Nearly every post I see on Facebook is divisive—or negative in tone when not divisive—so I stay away a lot and try to ensure that my posts are only positive or at least neutral. I simply do not want to contribute to further strife or division. There’s more than enough of that going around.

When I asked the Oracle what I most need to know today, the rune cards gave me Isa. The description gives metaphysical insight, but I feel today it’s really just a surface issue,[2] the Oracle reiterating the facts for me:
Positive accomplishment is unlikely now. There is a freeze on useful activity. . . . You may be experiencing an unaccustomed drain on your energy and wonder why. . . . Submit and be still, for what you are experiencing is not necessarily the result of your actions or habits but rather arises from conditions about which you can do nothing. . . . [E]xercise caution and do not stubbornly persist in attempting to work your will.

Notes
[1] As I look at this with hindsight, however, I also see how the card applies to my life in general. I try to live my life in this way: offering assistance, mediating, trying to maintain my patience, encouraging others to be their best selves.
[2] I wrote nothing more specific in my journal, so more than a year later, I can only assume that by “the obvious level,” I meant the pandemic, upheaval in “race relations,” and surging costs.
