Enough is Enough

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

My heart is broken. Deeply broken.

With Deep loss, disgust, and exhaustion, the tears I cry are the collective tears of lifetimes of suffering. There is a deep rage that has become dull, an almost surrender and apathy to the systemic issues that have been going on for so long.

It hurts.  I want to scream. I don’t know what to do. 

How do I help, I mean really help? How do we help?

Enough is enough.

Yes I can look at all the places that I have created separation within myself. 

All the beliefs I hold that keep you as separate or different from me. 

I can continue to tear my walls down to continue to see you as my mirror, my brother, my sister. Because deep inside I know, we are ONE.  We are not free until we are all free.

This awakening is painful.  Its excruciating. It’s overwhelming. 

Does It really have to be?

Can’t we all just take a knee, open our palms, and say enough already?

I am sorry.  I love you. I forgive you.  I am so deeply sorry for the pain we have caused.

I see a humanity holding hands. I see a human race as one.   I see us as a collective a unified force for love and healing.

I know we can get there. Let’s make it easier.  Let’s make it less painful.

PLEASE can we surrender!?

I see my brother as myself.  I love my neighbor as myself.

I respect humanity as I respect myself.

Your pain is my pain. Your win is my win. 

None of us are getting out of this thing alive; can we please love each other and walk each other home to the finish line with dignity, honor, and respect sharing our gifts with one another?

PLEASEEEEEE! PLEASEEEEEE.

“We will pray. We will make things right.  We will work to fix it.  We will make amends.  We will not give up.  We will not cower.  We will not be seduced.  We will not be duped.  We will not stop until the work is done.  We will kick ass. And we will recreate the world.” -Marianne Williamson

I pray for humanity. I pray for our healing.  I pray for our love of one another.

I pray for forgiveness.   

With Deep loss, disgust, and exhaustion.

I PRAY FOR LOVE!
