I wish I knew how to solve this separation.
The separation of our hearts.
Where we all know that we bleed the same blood.
Where we know that our spirits are wanting the same thing.
To love more.
To feel free.
To be safe.
To be honored.
I wish I knew how to will away anything that interferes with this.

I wish I knew how we can better support one another.
To allow our differences to exist.
This is both thee most magical and thee most challenging time to be human.
I have seen a glimpse of what is truly possible for us on this planet.
I see the door, I feel many of us do.
Yet time and time again I see how we, collectively, are closing the door.
How we are playing into the old ways.
Allowing ourselves to stay wounded in this human sorrow.
Are we powerful enough to transform our being and become the new way?

I wish I knew how to pray deeper.
How to love more.
How to create something that would shake the world into truly remembering.
Remembering the birthright we all came here with.
For sovereignty.
For love.
For the space to create.
In harmony with one another.
Where we have enough.
And want less.

Where love's vibration is so powerful and fulfilling that pain and separation melt away.
Where wars cease.
And brutality completes and bows to itself.
And we remember that we hurt when we bleed.
We all feel.
We all wish for acceptance.
We all desire love.

I wish I knew the answer to this prayer.

Not big into prayer but I like the thoughts.

You begin with what we have in common -- and build.

But I don't think even that bit of Mediation 101 works until people have the consciousness changing revelation that people who look, act, sound and smell differently love their children, need water, crave love and have hidden depths just as much as they do. For that you have to convince people that it's a good idea to read, travel and interact, and for a civilization that has spent 5000 years building a very comfy sofa that's going to be hard.

And you said it we have to build on what we have in common. I particularly like Anthony Bourdain. He showed me spots in the world I never even thought of.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

But there also has to be some realistic understanding that the world is dystopian; nature, this material world we are made of, is cruel and unfair. If it wasn't we would have no concept of what it is to live and struggle. There is no utopia without the understanding of dystopian. There's no such thing as pleasure without the concept of pain.

The foundations of our civilization, that allows us to dream of the utopian in a comfy sofa instead of worrying about killing an antelope for survival, is what we have in common- lets build on it!

This just bears repeating.
