Hello friends. This resonated with me today and I felt compelled to share it. An excerpt from the book "No Cure for Being Human" by Kate Bowler:
🍃
"The truth {of these times} is the truth of all suffering: that it is unjustly distributed. Who bears the brunt?
The homeless and the prisoners.
The elderly and the children.
The sick and the uninsured.
Immigrants and people needing social services.
People of color and LGBTQ people.
The burdens of ordinary evils - discrimination, brutality, predatory lending, illegal evictions, and medical exploitation - roll back on the vulnerable like a heavy stone. All of us struggle against the constraints placed on our bodies, our commitments, our ambitions, and our resources, even as we're saddled with the inflated expectations of invincibility.
This is the strange cruelty of suffering in America, its insistence that everything is still possible.
God, let me see things clearly. I must accept the world as it is, or break against the truth of it: my life is made of paper walls...and so is everyone else's."

May all Beings be happy.
May all Beings be healthy
May all Beings be peaceful.
May all Beings be kind.
