We can make it beautiful

“The world has gone to hell,” I hear.

The powers that be are sociopaths- driven by greed and fuelled by power.

What, I wonder, can we do?

We can make it beautiful.

We can. We got this.

We can leave a toonie in the palm of the man with no home. We can give dignity.

We can say we are sorry after we’ve hurt someone.

We can send a voice message to a friend who is hurting.

We can hold signs on the street for justice and for safety.

We can be curious instead of righteous .

We can send $20 or $50 or $200 to the GoFund Me or the cause of our choice.

We can bite the harshness of our tongue and set a boundary instead.

We can feel and heal our own pain, so we don’t project it onto others.

We can smile at a stranger, compliment their hair or their clothes or their dog.

We can imagine we have much more in common than what divides us.

Pay for the coffee behind us, recycle, paint a picture, write a poem, sing a song, dance.

Love, we can love.

We can love we can love we can love.

We can make it beautiful.

We can.

We got this.
