Pause Before We Speak
Metabolizing our thoughts
Does not have to happen with our tongues.
No matter how frustrating someone is being,
Or how ridiculous something seems,
There is time to pause.
Fully take in the interior life of the Other.
See the Rainbow within each of us.
Honor The Souls Around Us
Greg Marcus writes that the soul trait of Honor
refers to giving Honor to those around us.
It is not about the ego within us striving to be seen.
Let us hold space for all that is alive.
Whether they are “annoying,”
or “past their time,”
or simply smarter / healthier / richer / poorer than us.
Each soul deserve to be honored as it walks through this life.
That Means Leaving Women Be
To be clear: I meant souls that are living embodied lives.
What women do with their bodies is their business.
Abortion is a human right.
Focus on Gratitude Regardless
Not ignoring reality.
Choosing to gaze into Gratitude.
Choose to live into the best parts of life.
There is so much Chaos in the world.
There are so many human-created problems.
We must challenge bad choices,
while remaining steadfast in our Gratitude for Living.
