Reflecting on the Elections

He embodies hate
We are called to embody Love

The system is corrupt
We are called to live in fierce integrity
with the world we say we want to live in

In this time of further division and fear
we are called to live connection and courage

In this time where so much feels broken
we are called to bring forth healing

“To live so fully and presently in Love that there is no room for anything else to exist.”  This is my understanding of “Ahimsa.”  Now more than ever, we are called to be the space of so much LOVE in EVERY Thought, Word, and ACTION, that all that is not love, begins to disappear.

Love,

julia

    Thank you for showing me a way to feel more powerful in myself about the state of our country. I have been despondent since the election. I love our planet and especially our country. I connect to the last line…that all that is not love, begins to disappear…that thought gives me hope. thank you so much Miss Butterfly Beauty
