Simplicity
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound
to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must
stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is
right, and part with him when he goes wrong.
– Abraham Lincoln
What if wrong meant simply doing intentional harm to another being?
Where will you and I stand?
Hate
We have come to a time where we have become quite good at justifying our hate for this person or that action.
And the logical extension of the justification of hatred would be?
Perhaps, if we’re really good at it, we can create a
“war to end all wars.”
Giving
Love
Thanks
Gratitude
Ownership
Truth
Renewal
Each year I learn more about the truth surrounding the founding of America and the holiday we call “Thanksgiving.”
My eighth grade social studies book was titled,
“The History of the New World.”
This was not the “New World” to Native people. We sold their people, stole their land, brainwashed their children and have continued up to this year to break every treaty or agreement we have ever made.
The only thing that will make any difference is if we come to a place where we treat every person with dignity, grace and loving-kindness.
We stop denigrating others because they are different from us.
We recognize that when people do damage to others physically or verbally it is because they do not value themselves, are weak, fearful, insecure and afraid.
Let us take time to reflect, love, beg forgiveness and commit to a new way of being, now and always!
With all the love I know!
Namaste!
