We wake with
no words, just woe
& wound.
Our own country shooting us in the back is not just brutal ity; it’s jarring betrayal; not enforcement,
but execution. A message: Love your people & you will die. Yet our greatest threat isn’t the outsiders among us, but those among us who never look within. Fear not the those without papers, but those
without conscience.
Know that to care intensively, united, is to carry both pain-dark horror for today & a profound, daring hope for tomorrow. We can feel we have nothing to give, & still belove this world waiting, trembling to change. If we cannot find words, may we find the will; if we ever lose hope, may we never lose our humanity. The only undying thing is mercy, the courage to open
ourselves like doors, hug our neighbor, & save one more bright, impossible life. Please like and share.
