Dear Human
What I wrote to myself as I tried to find words for the deadly Charlottesvile Protest
I was struggling to find words to describe my thoughts and feelings about everything that happened in Charlottesville and the immediate after math. The following is what I ended up writing. I am choosing to share it, because it may provide comfort to someone else as well.
Dear Human
Your job is to be kind
Your job is to love
Your job is to understand everyone has faults
Your job is to tend to those who need your help and empathy
Your job is to appreciate life, human, nature, animals and yes even insects (appreciation is different than love)
Dear Human
When your heart is heavy, know others feel your pain
When your heart is full of love, know others feel your joy
Dear Human
The world needs your compassion more than your bigotry
Dear Human
The world needs your love more than your hate
Dear Human
It is okay to cry
It is okay to be angry, hurt and scared
Your light is what will cause change
Embrace your light and let it shine
