“Could we exclude any from our compassion any more than the sun could exclude any from the warmth and radiance of its rays?”

i think one of the challenging questions in this moment, with all the harm & suffering that is going on, is “how do we show up as love in our world right now?”

there is no doubt in my mind that this moment is demanding that we respond with love. as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio said on the stadium billboard, “the only thing more powerful than hate is love.” it would be well worth our time to discern what such radically inclusive love looks like & then do it & be it, for the benefit of all who are suffering.

the President’s latest action, in a long line of racist actions, is not surprising. what remains surprising, but probably shouldn’t be, is the effort by so many to dismiss or minimize it. 

we must be clear: 

racism is in opposition to life. it denies our interdependence & life’s greatest beauty & benefit, which is its diversity. racism is profane. it denies & disrespects the sacredness of others. there should be no excusing or minimizing that which opposes life itself & denies the sacredness of another. rather, we should align w/ love, which recognizes the sacredness of others & celebrates the beauty of diversity which makes all life possible.

it all matters & we have such an incredible privilege & responsibility to work w/ our mind & heart, to make each new word & action an offering of love.

“They fear love because it creates a world they can’t control.”

~ George Orwell

ultimately, at least in part, fear is the basis for this desire we see to control, to exclude, to enact cruelty & harm. which is why, ultimately, they will fail. there is a power greater than the cruelty we are seeing & that power is love. we are seeing it in neighbors stepping out & up, even into harm’s way, to love their neighbors, with their bodily presence & voice.

hold onto & live from this truth: Love will have the final word.

without exception.

whomever we are leaving out of our heart, out of our love, that is where our work is. 

in a moment when cruelty & harm are being celebrated at the highest echelons of power, may we have the courage to descend into the deepest depths & be love where love is needed, kindness & compassion where kindness & compassion are needed, safety where safety is needed, & healing where healing is needed.
