🌀

so much suffering at the hands of delusion, grasping, and aggression. so many lives endangered, harmed, and lost to the hands of war.

may all beings be safe, at peace, and free from suffering.

may our thirst for violence and retribution find its end.

may we also not lose our awareness of the suffering that has been, in light of the suffering that might be.

it is my hope and prayer that in the light of these latest escalations, that the Israeli hostages and millions of Palestinians facing imminent starvation, the tens of thousands of lives already lost, and the underlying issues and challenges, are not forgotten. 

may hearts open, may awareness and wisdom arise.
