Thank you so much, Caitlin, for naming what we are all in danger of losing as we relentlessly witness in shock the seemingly endless horror, and the helplessness to stop, the truly unspeakable suffering of our brothers and sisters in Gaza/Palestine. Naming the danger and also the remedy, because having "wide open hearts full of compassion" along with the equally fully human anger and outrage, is the hard inner work of love that feeds all effective actions that can and will stop these malevolent forces!
"Do not let them harden you."
"It is safe to feel."
"The victims deserve our sorrow. We deserve to have wide open hearts full of compassion. And the monsters who are doing this absolutely do not deserve to take it away from us."
