They want us to be afraid. They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes. They want us to barricade our doors and hide our children. Their aim is to make us fear life itself! They want us to hate. They want us to hate 'the other'. They want us to practice aggression and perfect antagonism. Their aim is to divide us all! They want us to be inhuman. They want us to throw out our kindness. They want us to bury our love and burn our hope. Their aim is to take all our light! They think their bricked walls will separate us. They think their damned bombs will defeat us. They are so ignorant they donβt understand that my soul and your soul are old friends. They are so ignorant they donβt understand that when they cut you I bleed. They are so ignorant they donβt understand that we will never be afraid, we will never hate and we will never be silent for life is ours!

Joyfully we undertake our daily work.
I now know that surrendering, allowing, and βBE-ingβ is far more productive than grasping for control. I don't know why one child is born with autism and another isn't, or why some children have to fight cancer and some don't. I have lived long enough to know that life is not fair, never will be fair, and we shouldnβt expect it to be.
