Just a Thought

    

                   Strange times we are living in.

                         Pandemic

                            violence

                                Hate

                                   Fires

                                      Floods

                                         Death to our bodies

                                             Death to our Humanity

                                                 Death to our very souls

                        

                                                        source

         ...and what is left?

     What is left after all that? 

             

     What is there after being stripped, and left with raw skin and heart exposed.

In the swirling darkness of sadness and despair, hate, fear and despondency...There is a NOTHING that swallows us and destroys us until we're part of that swirling seething emptiness.

I have to keep reminding myself...

                       There is HOPE

                          There is healing

                            There is Kindness

                                There is LOVE

                                    There is disagreement without Violence

                                        There is beauty

                                            There is God

   And once we can seek and see and feel that

             Then those who would rather we hate and hurt will have no power

                       and maybe we can heal, forgive, and start again.

               we can put down that stone and dare not cross that line.

                        and we can encourage others to do the same

                                      God please help us

                                         It can be done

                                            Let us try
