Media Free Diaspora: Be in the Eye of the Storm

Have Courage–Be Kind

I am seeing so many people getting lost in a maelstom of grief, anger, and fear over the current turn politics has been taking around the world, and in the US in particular.

This sort of burst of intense emotion is easy to justify, and completely understandable. But a key word here is "lost". So long as we are caught in this whirlwind of emotions, we become victims no longer able to see hope or to take action. Honestly, we never know if we have no hope until we live step by step through what life has handed us. Before that point, it's just fear.

And if we are indeed facing the end of the world, don't we want to savour everything that is good about life? Don't we want to honour the things we love--those things that have made life worthwhile, up until our very last breath? It is important to be witnesses to what is best in this world. It is also important to be adding to what is best in this world.

Do what you can to keep your hearts pure. And if you stumble, that's okay. Just pick yourselves up, brush yourselves off, and keep pointing yourselves towards the light.
