🌀

this life, a rare gift.

to be spent how?

to embody love.

to heal.

how is it that we can use this one precious life, with our intelligence and our imagination, rallying the full force of our presence to what? to create a myriad of ways to harm and destroy life?

we must stand with the sacredness of all life and push back against the delusion that gives rise to the justification of harm and destruction wherever and in whomever it arises.

and when force is necessary to defend the innocent and endangered, should we not move with love still, with careful reservation and the intention to minimize harm and destruction?

there will always be those who seek to take advantage of tragedy and crisis, playing on heightened emotions. it is power they seek, not peace. 

as challenging as it may be, in such moments, may we remember we are called to stand with life, to love and heal without discrimination or favor, in solidarity with those suffering.

may hearts open, may wisdom arise.
