I am heartbroken that Minneapolis has had a school shooting. Children killed and injured. A whole community emotionally deeply affected and shattered.
I know that safety protocols for schools to prepare for events like this have been explored and put in place. I am not sure that dropping to the floor and hiding under church pews during morning prayer was ever covered.
We are being asked to hope and pray that our children and school staff will be safe when safety is no longer assured.
I grew up learning to hide under my desk or in the hallway away from the glass windows in the classroom. We were hiding from foreign bombs that never came. That unknown, that the adults around us felt was coming at any moment, was very scary.
Today kids are hiding from the terror of gunshots & violence that is real. A whole school full of students will now carry this violent act, as part of their story. Along with their families, friends, and community.
Many of the area students, and school staff are scheduled to returned to school next week. Many with grief and fear for their own safety in a place where they should feel safe and nurtured.
It makes me wonder what we can do to truly protect are children so their trust & innocence is not stolen, while their schools become places to fear.
The thing that I know how to do is to feel my grief, while I turn to help and support others who are grieving. To remember that I am never alone in my grief, to ask for help when I need it.
To continually shift my lack of love energy, and the collective lack of love energy, back to love. To spread so much love around this planet that violent acts against all of life can know longer exist.
We can’t wait for violence to disappear on its own. We can gather to our shine light on the darkness.
On that note I am hosting a group zoom tonight at 6:30pm. We will be supporting each other as we gather to share our combined love and light with our community and out around the world. If you feel called to join us please do I would love to see you. Remember you can always join in with your intention if you can’t make it tonight.
