again, more lives gunned down.
17 young people dead.
does this hurt? is their #empathy within our hearts?
the Second Amendment states, āA well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.ā
this is not what is going on here.
much of this country has a sickness – fear, anger, aggression, isolation, self-preservation at the cost of other life.
our young are dying and we are only asking to have an authentic conversation about legitimate and fair gun regulation. and once again we are told this isnāt the time. it wasnāt after the other shootings either…still waiting.

their season has passed
fixed in time with eyes watching
fading, fading, gone.

stop. sit. breathe. let go. allow.
(rinse and repeat)
when renewed, get back up and do generous, kind, compassionate work to benefit a world that is suffering.

Is peace something you get,
or is peace something you are?
If you can get it, you can lose it.
If you are it, it is never gone.
