sometimes
when the darkness
of delusion and
the noise of war weigh
heavy and
seemingly with no end
i remember…
this old thing.
resilience,
by one name.
open heart by
another.
then the path appears.
we are stronger
than
we know.

Be soft.
Do not let the world make you hard.
Do not let pain make you hate.
Do not let the bitterness
steal your sweetness.
Take pride that even though
the rest of the world may disagree,
you still believe it to be
a beautiful place.
~
Kurt Vonnegut

we don’t influence people’s hearts and we don’t change the world through domination, through aggression or force.
we influence hearts and change the world through the power of love, which is manifest in empathy and kindness, and made evident in our service to loving the whole of the world and all life. service born of love in action joined to wisdom, which is what we call compassion.
we make the world a better place by our healing of it, even while others in their delusion and fear seek war and destruction.
we make the world a better place by reminding it that it is loved and worthy of love, that its purpose is love, and that it is formed and reformed again and again by love.

I get lost in the beauty of everything I see, the world ain’t half as bad as they paint it to be. ~
Ryan Tedder
there is a lot of work to do in making this world a more just, free, and equitable place. there is a lot of work to do in serving truth and love, and keeping the forces of tyranny and destruction at bay. but even as we work in service of love, truth, equity, freedom, and justice, we must not close our eyes to the beauty of this world.
it is the beauty that is in this world, found in nature and in each other, that can fuel and energize our work.

Happy Fall Equinox dear lovely people. 🍁🍂
may the turn of the seasons remind us that though change is a constant, there is beauty in the rhythm & cycles of life. each season’s end allows for the birth of another & the continuation of life.
nature teaches.
no end – just change!

Keep close to Nature’s heart. Break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
