You are not the cloud of incredible doom. You are NOT a part of it.
You are, in fact, so beautiful. So beautiful that if another being from another planet came here and looked at you they would need the best pit vipers in the universe to withstand the brightness of your being.
I know, cuz I do it too, that we can get sucked into the negativity of this world. The bad, smelly as fuck, bottom of the garbage pile type shit. Because we care. Because we worry. We worry about our lives and how they will pan out based on what’s happening in the world. And if you have children we worry about what affect it will have on our littles. Because we always want better for them.
But listen Linda. Staying in those feelings doesn’t do a damn good thing for you or for the people around you. Feel pissed off. Feel defeated. Feel like you want to puke in your boots. Feeeeeel it. But don’t stay there. That is not how we change this beautiful world.
We change it with love. Yup. Kumbaya shit. (When I get passionate I talk like a trucker). But that is the ONLY way we will create a world of peace and love. And it IS possible. The people who know love need to show it. We need to look for it. Call it out when we see it. Bombard the internet with it. Make it become THE NORM.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that”. - Martin Luther King Jr.
So even when you feel “justified” in posting or ranting to someone your ”this person is fucking psycho” stuff, I urge you to really ponder that. All of that hate and purging is not doing anything positive for this beautiful planet. It really isn’t. As much as you want to justify it to yourself. As much as you feel like you have freedom of speech and want to speak your piece, this does not produce ANY positive forward movement.
Love will prevail. That is probably a quote I should google and give due to but I’m on a roll…. You’ve heard of the ripple effect right? How if a leaf falls upon water it will create a ripple affect throughout the body of water. That is how love works. That is how kindness works. When you light one little spark of kindness within yourself or towards someone else it starts a ripple effect of colossal positive collisions that you may never be aware of. But they are happening. But the same goes for the negative, unkind things that are said.
THAT is how we change the world.
Shea and I were talking this evening about the state of the world. I love btw how we can have such meaningful convos about life ❤️. I also have to say that Shea and I do not keep up on the state of the world. We know of it only by the people around us. But we couldn’t not hear of the election somehow. We are able to put things into perspective. Am I going to don a super cape and throat punch someone on the other side of the world who may press the big red button labeled “nuclear bomb” on it? Nope. Am I going to be elected to a position that will aide somehow in that not happening? Nope.
I am however, here for a miniscule amount of time. I want to LIVE IT. I am not going to spend it sinking myself into sorrow and despair because of the actions of a few. And I believe that although I’m not ALWAYS light and love…. on my shiny days/moments I can share them and hope that the ripple happens. And that is my contribution to changing this world.
Also, I am NOT a racist. Thought I should let you all know. I also AM NOT my ancestors. I am ME. A wonderful human being who wants so much for this world to stop fucking around and just come together and realize that we all want the same damn thing……. PEACE. I am going to suggest that you watch “Am I a racist?” movie. So good. I am white. I am a white woman, I had no choice in that decision. And I embrace it. I embrace ALL of what I came into this world with. And I love it. My color has NOTHING to do with how I love. I am wonderful. Take what you will from that.
If you’ve made it this far, I’m so glad because maybe I’ve rippled some things.
BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THIS WORLD. Spread love. Not animosity
That’s all. Love all of you Linda’s 🫶🏻
Well said.
