We need more love in this world. Right now. No more division or intolerance. We need community, understanding and collaboration for what is to come. My heart has felt ripped apart reading about all the most horrific things happening to girls, kids and babies, children and young women, and I can't understand why my community isn't saying a word. Just because it's too hard to accept that this has happened and IS happening doesn't make it not real. It is real. Unfortunately. It's really real and yes it is easier to look away or pretend it isn't real, but that is a disservice to your own soul. I choose to stand with and witness this horrific era of humanity not because it feels good because it feels like walking through hell. I tried to talk to a good friend about this and she said 'what does it have to do with me?', and for anyone else who is tempted to say the same thing, it has to do with your humanity. Your decency. I grow flowers and if you're reading this, probably you do too. You maybe also have children or babies. If that is the case, then you cannot stay in a bubble of silence and denial. For all the love of nature, beauty, goodness and what is right, get out of your comfort zone and get engaged. This is real. It is happening and I need you to be the good people I believe you are. This isn't about politics, sides, class, race or agenda. This is good versus evil. We are the good guys. The rest of us need you to be active and present if we're going to make a difference. Get online. Read. Do research. Talk to other people. Now is the time to let love rule. This vileness and evil cannot withstand the light we can bring if we all stand together. In defiance of the sadness of my soul, I made cookies to decide that I can walk in the darkness and not let it consume me. I can still find my way back into the light, and it feels so much brighter. Please join me. Let's grow something amazing together.
