The courage of words

Honesty is scary for me sometimes, even though it’s the right thing to do. Being honest with someone with my words can be frightening. But they’re just words so they shouldn’t be scary. The scary part is other people’s reactions to my words.

For example, my mom is being a dick lately and I can hardly bring myself to say that in writing, even though it’s objectively true.  I have witnesses to the fact.

It is so helpful to my healing process to be able to write about things that are affecting my emotions right now, but having the courage to put those words out there for others to see is difficult.

Get really clear about whose opinions matter to you. Creatives connect the seemingly unconnectible. Boundaries are always changing; what you share now might become truly intimate to you and you don’t want to share. Work for your fans, not your critics, ignore it unless it serves the work, Be brave…your friends will find their story in your words –Brene Brown

Just don’t fucking hurt anyone.

It’s so simple, and all religions have this in common: Don’t hurt anyone.

Let the love and joy heal the pain. Assisted suicide, abortion, the death penalty…no one wants more of these things. No one. We can all agree that we all want less of them.

Because life is a gift. And that is something else we can all agree on. Every, single, blessed life on this planet, no matter how tall or how small or dumb or smart or black or grey or sex or none is fucking precious!

Life, and the time we are given to live it, is the most blessed gift to us all.

And what is life? Is it consciousness? Is it there before life begins? Is it there after it ends? None of us knows. We also all have that in common. We will find out in due time. When we are each meant to know it.

And do Satanists love to cause pain and hurt people and wrong them? No, I don’t believe that they do desire the suffering of us all. Neither do Muslims or Communists or Nazis or tomorrows next scapegoat group.

Which is why they don’t use the bombs and start a war and hurt the peaceful people that exist in all corners of the globe, struggling to find a way in the dark world.

Because they in their barely beating, bluish hearts also feel a desperate desire for joy and peace and harmony and respect and a celebration of life. They want that. They want that spirit in their hopeful hearts.

And so do haters and bullies and assholes and jerks and your boss and his boss and those corporate CEOs and those wall street fat cats and those posers and those losers and those Democrats and those Republicans and those liberal conservative nut jobs and those hillbilly fleek sissy sexist misogynist trending reality-blind independently minded beautiful freaky hippie gypsy people of the globe.

We, the United People and United Consciousness of the Universe and its infinite realm, do hereby acknowledge with wounded hearts, that bad things do sometimes happen to good people. We also sorrowfully acknowledge our own blatant inability to avoid scapegoating our fellow personkind. We are not perfect. Neither are they. We soundly reject any intentional pain caused to anyone by mental or physical or any other means. We accept each other as perfectly fallible persons of one blessed alive Kingdom!

Now in the words of Pablo Tittonell, “Knowledge is the only thing that grows when you share it.” So go and share what you have learned with your fellow Sons of Man.

There is no church. My destiny is to make way for the Son of Man. I do this through kindness.
