(no subject)
I'm just speaking here. My heart hurts. There is still some residual sprituality in me, if you want to call it that. I find it harder and harder to reconcile with the fact that I truly believe the human collective is deeply divided, sheltered in places in ways that put others at risk (racism, here in MA it can seem so removed when it's not TOTALLY in your face, when is the last time you saw someone outright call someone else a n*gger?) It hurts my heart to read the things that are said today
politicians using a terrorist attack as a call to ban all muslims, for the "throne of God heeds it so"
people honestly and truly believing that muslims are all "cockroaches"
that we need a wall
this is us v. them
the vile names
like I don't NEED to see or read this, but there it is. What did I gain? I was curious. What do I do now but practice letting go and compassion.
I don't want likes. I don't want "oh hun". I just want to talk without feeling like it's for attention or I'm somehow benefiting from a terrible thing
it's not eloquent of me, do not say it is. it's not beautiful to cry alone
or talk about crying about people you don't know
what is there left to say? What will we say about this next? How can we help?
this is not a "they know not what they do"
this is officially
from my standpoint as a human being
I am now looking at this as
they are fully cognizant (aware through one's own personal experience) of what they say and do.
my brain says "they must be stopped they must be stopped you do not turn a blind ear"
how do I listen with intent? How do I listen with compassion?
you put the daisy in the barrel of the gun. You make a mental image but you do not tune out. my brain says, "processing". They believe they do right. I believe they do wrong.
I need a heart mantra, everyone needs a heart mantra
hahahah look under your chairs everybody! EVERYBODY GETS A HEART MANTRA
