“Love is not passive; it goes out to meet the other. Being a neighbor is not determined by physical or social proximity, but by the decision to love.”
~ Pope Leo XIV
love is a choice.
love is a practice.
choose to love.

bravery is a practice.
bravery is love in action.
bravery is one breath at a time,
one foot in front of the other,
one word following another.
bravery is needed in this time.

in a time when cruelty is practiced in rhetoric, embodied in policy, & promoted at rallies & performed for cameras, it can feel risky to prioritize & practice compassion. but, how else can we embody the call to love, & if we don’t do it who will?

the tyrant will sow division and conflict, but this fundamental truth remains, we are in this together. and it is in loving each other, our neighbors, and those cast out, that we will find our way forward. love manifests in our words and actions, in our relationship to/with other life. how else can love be known?

yesterday, Trump in a speech, whether joking or not joking, suggested it would be a small price to pay if Iran were to take out Los Angeles or San Diego w/ a nuclear weapon. the people attending applauded, cheered & laughed. who have we become to excuse, dismiss – or worse – celebrate such behavior?
though in AZ, San Diego will always be home for me & Los Angeles is filled with chosen family. even so, Trump’s comments should elicit condemnation regardless of city. frankly though, this moment doesn’t say much about Trump. he is who he is & some of us have seen this clearly since 2015. this moment says more about us, both individually & collectively.
where is the line? when is cruelty too much cruelty? harm too much harm? destruction too much destruction? what will be the cost for some to finally abandon Trump? why are some so willing instead to abandon moral & ethical ground for him? our loyalty should be to love, to loving our neighbor, not to an individual. we own our actions & our support of others’ actions. Trump has shown who he is consistently & repeatedly. the deeper, perhaps more pressing question for this moments is, “who are we?” who we choose to be in this moment has real consequences. may we choose love.

today is the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, observing the 800th anniversary of his death.
God came to my house and asked for charity. And I fell on my knees and cried, “Beloved, what may I give?”
“Just love,” He said. “Just love.”
~ St. Francis of Assisi

so many creative people, when it comes to this. some may say too many creative people, when it comes to this. in any case, some beneficial advise may be – if it isn’t love, abandon it. stop accepting less than love & then imposing it onto others.

in a time when so much is being destroyed, it is good & beneficial to surround ourselves with witnesses to beauty & life. nature does this intrinsically.
at my previous home, i’d go for walks that included a steep hill. in certain months, greeting me at the top, were what i understand to be, these gorgeous Royal Cape Plumbago.
keep the faith & hope, friends. there is beauty, there is life, & they are worth bearing witness to, being in solidarity with, & speaking & standing up for – & they are present in all the people being marginalized, targeted, & harmed. may we see this clearly & may our hearts open to all who suffer.
