Thank you for this. I needed it. I wrote an essay this week that felt so hard, immediately got some blowback and left me gripped with anxiety. But I’m proud of it because it forced me to think critically about a subject and be humble about the feedback. Great reminder.
This piece is extraordinary, exquisite, divine, beautiful, truthful, honest, sweet, integral, peaceful, normal, healthy, zen, lovely, loving, hopeful, soft, gentle, historic. like a warm hug, like a mother’s love, like a soft kiss, and a gentle nudge. It’s the medicine we all need - and what will actually bring us to fundamental Unity and Peace . Thank You, Shanti, Salam, Shalom. Om.
More of This. More of This. Thank You and Please. May We All Only Know Deep and Divine Liberty.
May we all laugh when we finally realize how much we are all truly all the same. And where we find uncomfortable difference, may we laugh at that too for taking ourselves too seriously for naught. And maybe just maybe it can all end in a giant dance party ?
May we know that if there is something about another that makes us feel uncomfortable it is usually because we have that quality within ourselves. May we come to use that discomfort as an opportunity for self examination and breakthrough and growth. And may it lead us to pray sincerely on behalf of the other - and ourselves.
It’s hard to be online rn. There’s so much hate. Even though, I believe that many people with supposedly opposite viewpoints want the same things...respect, justice, accountability, acknowledgment of suffering, etc. But there is this hostility towards each other that is hard to bear. I feel myself getting defensive. This is really helpful advice 💛
thanks for writing and sharing your thoughts and principles.
this phrasing jumped out at me: "create infrastructure for sacred time." mmhhmm you've gifted me more words for the gathering I host that is exactly about "interrupt[ing] the ceaseless flow of information." (this is the gathering I invited you to, called Supportive Spiral).
do you sense that you'd like to have ways of revisiting these principles on a regular basis? (like a sticky note on the device screen?)
This is absolutely the tonic. Thank you!
Can't even express how much I love this❤ Exactly what the WWW needs.
This was such a great note on being - both online and offline
Brilliant !!!!
This was beautiful. Thank you.
