we often talk about about wanting to change the world. the truth is that we all change the world every day, for better or for worse. we do it in little actions, in little omissions. in the things we say, and in the things we do not say.
words to a friend (with a small edit for my writer's ego). but words to us all.
i go further in my thoughts as i reflect on words of wisdom i find hard to believe came from me.
i think about how every morning, there is newness and possibility. i think about how we make little decisions throughout the day, and how every thing we do affects someone else. the coffee i drink affects the retailer, the roaster, the farmer. the people who live near the farm.
it is like chaos theory, like the butterfly effect. constantly.
and so we must live creatively. to do the creative best with what we have.
this weekend, i had hoped to be a part of a coming out/solidarity service organized by a dear friend and co-journeyer. though i am unable to go and participate in person, i will be cheering her on from a distance. and participating through support and love and finding creative ways to do so.
let every decision i make, every little action and every omission, every word and every silence change the world for good. so that justice will flow like a mighty river. beginning with this vessel of peace. and may you, too. and may we be unstoppable forces for creative living and change.
