friends, i choose to live by vow. that is to say i am committed to a path & practice of love toward all without exception even as i stumble along this path. it’s a practice of love engaged in calling out cruelty & harm, bearing witness to the suffering it causes, working to end the harm & heal the suffering. it is unshakable. therefore, i will not debate cruelty. i will not debate harm. i will not abide with fascism. there is no “except” following the command to love our neighbor. one cannot expound, “for God so loved the world” & not mean the whole world & all within it. so if anyone, including friends, are aligned with these or practice apologetics for these, out of love i will meet them with silence, & wish them peace & freedom from suffering. we’ve come too far & crossed too many thresholds at this point in my view, to debate cruelty & harm, & to abide with any movement toward fascism. to engage in such a way at this point, as if cruelty & harm & fascism are legitimate, gives air to them & feeds the beast. i don’t see that as a beneficial use of my energy, or love.

may open hearts, wisdom, & love prevail in this time for the benefit of all.

⭕️♥️🙏🏼
