it takes courage to be present, to bear witness to suffering, to look directly into cruelty and harm.

but to do so is the embodiment of love and it is from embodied love that we can act to end harm and transform suffering into healing.

this takes an open heart, a tender heart, so this is our practice. moment after moment, day after day, life after life.
