as the polls close and we huddle in to watch results, please remember that whatever the outcome, there is no stopping love.

as long as there are people willing to embody love, willing to offer love, willing to serve the purpose of love and act in service of love, love continues to move through hearts, through communities, through the world, through life, and there is hope.

this doesn’t mean there isn’t harm or danger. it means that within harm and danger we can know that love still exists even within our own hearts. that love, is potential. potential for light cutting through darkness and a reason to hope.

hope is manifest through the work of people who refuse to stop loving, who refuse to be apathetic and indifferent to harm.

what does love look like?

love looks like empathy and fierce compassion. love looks like spaciousness and nonviolence. love looks like justice and equality.

know your heart, embody love, and have hope.
