Melissa: Session Notes From the World's Therapist - October 27, 2025
Daily serialized fiction

Today’s client is a little different. Ruth records more notes than usual. More of a prayer. A meditation.
Dear Melissa -
I want to say you are angry but that us my projection. Or maybe it is our human word for exactly the kind of energy you are expressing.
I want to say have mercy. Please - have mercy on Jamaica and Cuba.
And yet I know you are not vindictive.
All I can do is breathe and witness and pray. I feel my openness giving you room and that is all I can do.
A part of me wants to ask what you are expressing. To plumb for meaning. For intent. Yet the meaning is apparent. It is pure energy. We have blocked heat from leaving the cocoon of the earth. Through burning and destroying and generating power and zooming here and there and making our food.
And nothing likes to be captured. Another personification but person or not you are reacting to being trapped.
Like an unhappy body the earth is inflamed. Lumps, bumps, expressions - new things happening that weren’t there before.
But none of this would happen without the Coriolis effect. Your connection to our centre moving you along the ocean til land, cold or wind stop you. There is nothing superficial about you, Melissa. The earth is all in with you on this.
Your energy is entrapped where there is meant to be space.
I’m listening. I’m praying from my very human heart that struggles to understand nature’s destruction. I wonder if you understand human destruction. I try to breathe with you, to accept you as natural. And to root more deeply into the project of helping humans understand you. May we learn before the toll overflows. Amen.
Wiping away ears, Ruth bundles up for the walk home. After a warm fall the air is finally calling for hat and scarf.
We meet online, but the real work happens off-screen. A reminder to all of us to step outside, feel the earth beneath our feet, take a breath of fresh air, and remember who we really are.
