How to not be bowled over
by the world?
This morning I can feel my heart is breaking, with each horrific bit of news coming from
the baffling developments south of the border.
All this talk of walls, makes me wish to build one very high, just around all of the noise and nastiness. Wall him in! Wall them in!! Wall it all in!!!
Or at least
to shut it all out.
How to remain aware … yet keep this awful petty demoralizing often criminal behaviour from sticking to our skin,
from seeping into our bones
and somehow becoming part of us?
We all come from somewhere …
and we ALL
belong
It is beyond me to ever, EVER understand intentional unkindness, and with every strike that garners speed, I am wounded… deeply.
My head bows low.
One can only choose again and again, not to succumb to fear, fed on a constant diet of .. .. fear and misinformation, but ugh.. my ears are ringing, and how to feel about fellow humans at this frightful hour?
“In those dark times, one rose to the very heights of humanity by simply remaining human.”
~ Elie Wiesel
so here I am
I am Kindness
I am Love
I am Peace
and I cannot possibly fathom a world
otherwise
and maybe
you’d like to sit down with me here
and we could take each other’s hand
and protect each other’s hearts
and vow
somehow
to remain human ♥
