🌀

we would benefit from more deep looking and less bypassing and dissonance. 

there is a desperate need for compassion at this moment, born from empathy. 

and where empathy is not readily available, usually due to our own bias, blindness or lack of imagination, we should seek to have understanding. we can do this by bearing witness, deeply paying attention, through mindful looking and mindful listening while maintaining an open heart.

maybe then we can see through the delusions that continue to cause and perpetuate harm, the delusion that we are somehow separate, rather than of one family, of one life.

this is a clarifying moment.

we are in this together. 

we must be, for future generations. 

we must be, for the children.
