🌀

as this year ends and the new year begins, may we let go, may it be our practice let go.

may we let go of all that is destructive and harmful, all that is oppressive and insatiable with blind consumption, all that is fearful and filled with aggression and hate. 

may we let go of the desire to hurt or rob others of the joy of life. 

may we let go of the myth that vengeance is somehow justice and that mass death solves anything, or that we can bomb our way to peace.

may we let go of all that is not born of an empathetic, open heart – tender and raw, gentle and kind, compassionate and healing in word and action.

may we let go of all that isn’t love.

rising from the ash that once was ego and delusion, may all that is left, BE LOVE.

may it be so.
