I have been at work day after day after day…sometimes I miss what is happening on the news. But I did see scenes that baffled me the other day.
We are one human family. We are protecting people from a killer virus. But we know that as well as this invisible physical threat, there are other threats to our human family, forces which incite outrage and seek to cause division and hatred.
Because I work with international non-political charities with volunteers from over two hundred nationalities and diverse cultures, I sometimes forget that in the world at large people can behave in such a depraved way.
A human family…all of us with the responsibility to learn to look after our planet, look after each other and look after our health. Education is puerile if it does not teach people how to love. I love this human family and can’t wait for all to be healed in every way possible – physically, emotionally, mentally – the ability to feel joy, to feel safe, to feel valued healed.
Show love. Please show love. Remember we have all been asked to follow guidelines to save people’s lives. Love our worldwide human family, many of whom are fearful and confused. Love conquers. Love each other.
We are all learners at love.
I have chosen a song that makes me cry. The track is “Say Something“, from A Great Big World featuring Christina Aguilera. It is a little gem of a song that makes some big reverberations in your heart. There is something very raw and exposed about these verses. There is pain and sadness in those lyrics.
In the past, I have been near the brink of giving up. I was losing hope with regards to Jack. The spark of hope was something I had to keep hidden within, because when I did talk about it, other people told me to forget him, let go, move on, cut him off. I remember thinking to myself “that is not who I am!”
