Your Ever Vigilant Heart!
#TreeOfLifeSynagogue #PittsburghPA
Beautiful People,
I Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times.
Today I cannot find that space of empty in my mind. Instead, I embrace every thought.
Did you know that the Gun Violence Archive cites that the Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting/Murder in Pittsburgh, Pa marks the 294th Mass Shooting in the United States in 2018. Or that in 2017 there were 346 mass shootings in the United States? And how many in 2016? or 2015?
Be Still My Heart!
I Breathe. For All those who have lost their lives due to violence in churches, mosques or synagogues or on city streets, country roads and unnecessary wars or illness and suffering.
I Offer Prayers of Love and Healing for their Families and Communities.
I Breathe. In my heart are Awakening Cries of anger, despair and disappointment mixed with Compassion, Hope, Integrity, Mercy and Love. These are the emotions vibrating throughout the United States and the World.
Humanity is Awakening but our addiction to fear, greed and hate has taken center stage.
We must remember that Hate Breeds Hate. Hate is never a Cure.
No matter how difficult or how long it may take...Only Love, Respect & Understanding with Compassion and Mercy Offer Us Any Opportunity to Live Together In Peace with Equity.
Across the United States and the World, We Are Moving In Violent Directions and Causing Despair to Many.
The Schisms of Class, Fear, Gender, Greed, Power, Race, and Religion are at the Forefront of the Regional and Global Conversations.
I Remember that violence and war only break hearts and create More Cycles of Violence and War.
Again, I Breathe Deeply Ten Times. In Courage, Patience and Love. Out Courage, Patience, and Love....
It will take Many Strong Voices and Vigilant Hearts to Choose to Empower Our World through Good Actions of Kindness and Love.
Peace Is Possible Only through Compassion, Cooperation, Courage, Creativity, Deep Listening, Faith, Forgiveness, Good Purpose, Hope, Integrity, Joy, Kindness, Mercy, Patience, Respect, Understanding and the Gift of Love!
In the United States, No Matter Our Race, Ethnicity, Religion, Social or Economic Status...
Our Collective Responsibility Is to Keep Raising Our Voices In Truth, VOTE for Candidates Who Say No to Hate in the November 6th, 2018 General Elections and to Learn to Want the Good for Others that We Want for Ourselves!
Thank YOU for Your Ever Vigilant Heart!
Live & Love...
Always, Melony
