In the face of horrors visited upon our world daily,

in the struggle to protect our loved ones,

choosing to let in joy is a revolutionary act.

Joy returns us to everything

that is good and beautiful and worth fighting for.

~Valerie Kaur

how it goes when I focus on peace…

inquiry for today~ where are you in the trajectory of fear?

under the belly of fear….

Hope is the deep orientation of the human soul

that can be held at the darkest times.

~Vaclav Havel
