How do we better understand the ways in which the liberation of all beings is tied to the unwinding from white supremacist capitalist hetero-patriarchy? To learn how we have benefitted from it, been complicit, and will dismantle it? The work doesn’t end when this week's headlines slip down our feeds. It requires meaningful, sustained, evolving action. Shame is understandable, but white tears aren’t constructive. Let's feel the anger, feel the grief - then alchemize it. We’ll need the energy to stand firm in our sacred responsibility. We’ve got to keep questioning - can we find the pleasure in humility, in commitment, in being of service? How do we carry the conversation forward not just by talking, but by practicing active listening, and supporting with our actions, attention, and resources? This process will be set into motion not just by being shared in the digital realm, but by being woven into our daily lives as an active prayer. The fires lit must remain burning in our consciousness until we can rise from the ashes together.
