RADICAL THINKING / RADICAL HEALING

6/1/2020

 
Picture
What are we going to do…
Blow it out or let it burn?
 
Oh, the anxiety!
Oh, the despair!
 
We are living in unprecedented times…
Wait, are we?
History is littered with times just like this: epidemics, pandemics, genocides, wars, unfettered violence, oppressions, racial discriminations, sexual discriminations, exploitations, slavery, misogyny and on and on and on…
 
Well, today
In light of current events
I invite you to join the vanguard
I invite you to re-frame the human condition
 
Essentially, it really is simple:
Love your self and love each other.
 
Simple
And yet, not so simple to live from this truth
Because centuries of the “human condition”
Have traumatized us all
The Patriarchal abuse of power
Has cowed our spirits
And stripped us of our inalienable rights
Yes, those rights…
 
The founding
Of the great experiment
That is the United States
Was truly visionary…
In practice, sadly, it was more than seriously flawed
And mournfully impossible to birth without horrific compromises:
Math that dehumanized
Rules and ideas that crushed, oppressed, and diminished
Anyone “other”
(Our brothers and sisters)
 
And that legacy continues
 
What are we going to do…
Blow it out or let it burn?
 
It is time to choose the higher vibration of Love over Hate
And commit to living from that place of love
Through words and deeds
In the microcosm of your life
EVERY DAY
Which in turn will naturally
Contribute to the expansion of Love over Hate
In the macrocosm of the world
EVERY DAY
 
It is time people
Let’s refuse to doom ourselves
To another repetition of the past
Let’s reject another empty
Never Again
Let’s get it right this time around
 
We CAN change the course of history
We have the power
We have the agency
Let’s break the cycle
 
The tactics are there for the taking
Blueprints are there to guide us
Proof upon proof exists demonstrating that
One person can change the world
 
Let’s follow in the footsteps of the
Brave heroes and heroines who
Stood up to vile status quos 
And changed the world
 
In no order
(And definitely an incomplete list)
With deep gratitude
I offer the names of these great souls
To inspire you
to take up your agency 
NOW:
 
Galileo
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Martin Luther King
Ruby Bridges
Nelson Mandela
Mahatma Gandhi
Mother Theresa
Rosa Parks
Eleanor Roosevelt
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Joan of Arc
Cleopatra
Helen Keller
Wilma Rudolph

Benjamin Franklin
Betty Friedan
Jane Goodall
Katherine G. Johnson

Let’s join this esteemed vanguard
To break the patterns and shatter the legacy
Let’s finally do the right thing
 
Love your self
And love each other
 
It's time!
