While reading an image manifested in my mind. On the surface there is this river of lies, judgements, violence, othering, censoring. Maybe this has to happen, maybe it is a cleaning. But underneath that there is this river of connection, of inspiration, of stories, of believing, of love, of accepting. it is like the water under the desert. Sometimes it surfaces and creates an oase. Just to remember that it is there. What we need now are stories in which we remember that second current so that its seeds can blossom again when the dirty river has dried up. Impermanence, the strong inspiration that what ever you do matters because it is a contribution to the future. Even if they would ban the song 'imagine' imagination will grow.

The thought that something kinder and more vibrant can spread as easily as lies is comforting. Thanks for this perspective.
