Allow yourself a moment...

...to pull out of our personal point of view. Literally widen your view, envisioning two giant front gates in our mind opening up...including the possibility that consciousness runs and flows through everything living. Understand we are greater than any word we invent to try and explain the magic within us. When I say us....I mean all of it- religion as an expression to desperately try and describe the ineffable. 

We are connected.. we are all from one something. The words to me don't matter- the religion to me has no influence- the heart and it's choices come first. All the rules we convoluted, all the regulations and sins or fear based corrective measures - aren't currency here. They shouldn't be. They get in the way of our greatest ultimate self.

None of this means we are perfect...or that we get it right all of the time...because being human includes the flaws

But we make a difference. If you're thinking "I am just one person, who cares.." or "no one will even notice..." I ask you right now to drop that energy. I have had those thoughts...everyone does...and that is the problem... Each of us has such a unique purpose in our story as a whole. If you're thinking it, you're getting in your own way and I want you to know you matter. Each one of you can make a difference that ripples...one thank you- one door held open- one kind post or dm- for one love will all bounce back...Love can spread like this virus...and we wouldn't have to shut down the world or lose our lives.

There have been so many days I lose hope, under the rocks, drowning under the pressures of it all...but at the end of the spiral...I lay with the farm and find that peace again

Someone loves you...and needs you- someone wants you. We need to fight for each other...rally against those lost souls that decided on a life of hatred and misery. That pain in my chest is killing me today and there is no man created remedy to take...

What heals us isn't cheesy, or fake- or hallmark....Love is not overrated...or traditional...Love isn't all one way...or ever needs to be taken away...even when the person you romantically love hurts you. There is love even when we protect ourselves - pull out of a dangerous situation....decide for health we can't speak to someone...

love must remain. 

give that a second...because I have built a life trying to follow my mother...who has always kept her door open, no matter what the person has done. That doesn't have anything to do with literals. Love changes depending on what people need, but never underestimate the power of maintaining your heart true, even if all you're getting is negativity on the other end. 

Our power begins with care and attention to details...our magic is in our empathy..our humanity....relies on this difference. Let us combat the awful hatred we have come to find on our feeds...in our homes...any left towards ourselves...with true love. 

There is absolutely no reason....that we can claim "this is how the world is" when bad happens...but when good happens it is criticized and judged and called fake or assumed there are motives. Bullshit. It stops with us...I tell myself I will stop believing...but I don't

I can't 

We are responsible for ourselves, for how we effect each other...Let us restructure our assumptions and lead with intentions of getting a smile...or a sigh of relief...even if it isn't immediate gratification, your positive influence will spread- how many times I have come through like I am on ACTUAL fire...and a sales rep or waitress just do one thing..that punctures that rage...smiling and laughing at myself by the time I reach the car.

If anyone needs anything, reach out and let help in. 

I didn't know Hana Kimura very well, just her work and family...but if this pandemic, the state of our world, those that we have lost weren't enough...let us honor her by not letting this happen again. If anyone sees it happening, contact us. Make no assumptions that we all saw it. I'd give anything to go back to yesterday and be aware...maybe we could have ganged up on those fuckfaces...protect her somehow...

Let's be better together ❤️
