No one is expendable, however watching the evening news and
hearing about the disequilibrium of wealth, healthcare, food, housing, work and
the seemingly lack of concern expressed by those in positions to make change is
scary and extremely sad. The strong
survive and the weak or vulnerable let them fend for themselves often feels
like the prevailing attitude. It is very
discouraging and easy to feel powerless some days.
Today, I will remind myself that acceptance and compassion
begin within and works outward. I will
treat myself and the others I encounter on the journey today with respect and
acknowledge the worth and value of alll life.
I will remain open-minded and curious, asking questions, listening,
speaking my truth when required, and showing generosity and empathy. I may not change the whole world but I might
be able to change the world of someone today and I choose to remember that
loving kindness is contagious and ripple outwards. I take hope in the many people I admire who
choose a life of benevolence and peace and hold a belief that we are all one.
