Are we willing to risk our connections with community, family and even our rather weak string to life in order to expand love? This is what Y'Shua (Jesus) did, fully grasping that he could be slain and still he fought to bring love. He did not seek the power of the Empire, he sought rather to build love, expand love, grow and cultivate love. Y'Shua sought to separate us from the Empire, he understood that love can shame the mighty and bring beauty to our world. I have been pondering and doing some writing on love as the center for social justice work, civil and human rights and the like. People remain speechless when i say love as opposed to power, for social justice work. In the state of New York there is a centering of thoughts like, building power, community power through mass mobilizations and one on one conversations with thousands to "build power".
This language to me sounds like colonization, the same conversation was had by democrats as they pursued the presidency with Kamala Harris, they pursued power to "Stop Trump" and that type of thing. Some of the movement folks, social justice folks joined in that fight, they used fiery rhetoric and language, they behaved like the oppressor. Empires/Oppressors use the language of power, power over others, their language is laced with it, democrats along with social justice folks used the same language and failed. Our mission should be to speak in terms of love, not love of the enemy in the way of just loving him but loving him so much you will not allow him to do the evil he does. Loving so much that we will not allow others who are innocent to be harmed or slain. Love makes one take up arms to defend the beloved, but love can also build respite, a holy space, a safe space for those loved. I am working on building that space, expanding it to be so immense that nothing else has space, hate, evil, threats, harm will have no space in this geography built on love. It is ideological and perhaps utopian but i am speaking to love in all that i do to get this, even at the risk of being slain.
I don't think we have loved these children slain enough to do that which is necessary to stop their deaths. We love from afar, we love without real connection to each other so that we can build this sanctuary, safe space for these pretty babies. We have not expanded love enough to defend these children and the earth. Love until there is no space for anything else, the other stuff will be pushed into a compost pile. I don't know if i addressed this fully as i tend to ramble a bit. I am writing the poetry to work this energy, i am speaking the words the lyrics for love. I will love so big, so immense, so incredible, so sweetly that nothing can be in this space, this earth but love.
Majadi, you expressed it well. "I don't think we have loved these children slain enough to do that which is necessary to stop their deaths." Y'shua sought to separate us from Empire. Those two thoughts right there. Thank you!
