tyrants never grew up. they are stunted in their emotional intelligence. all of our current tyrants are no different. they haven’t done the inner work of growing up & growing out. opening of mind to awareness of the other & then that there is no other. expanding & softening of the heart towards all life, rather than a closing & hardening that excludes. it’s their way or the highway & don’t even think of getting in their way. anything to avoid discomfort, their cruelty comes easily.

saints, on the other hand, are incredibly courageous. they go right into the difficulty & discomfort carrying with them the wisdom that their dark night of the soul is necessary and a gift, the inner journey that opens their eyes, mind, & heart to our interdependence, union, & our necessity to each other. saints carrying in their hearts the grown-up & vast love that benefits our world.

let us have the courage to do the inner work that enables us to be saints & bring benefit to our world.
