Love to All Beings

“Two of the great lessons humanity will learn in the 21st century will be:
to harm another is to harm oneself,
when you heal yourself, you heal the world.” – Yung Pueblo

What a year 2020 has been, already, for all of us. For me personally, my dad passed away, the pandemic has shaken and changed my daily life to the point that it’s unrecognizable, and I’ve seen people greatly harm one another. And, we’re only halfway through the year. It’s been a whirlwind that has felt like emotional whiplash. There are so many things that we, collectively and individually, are experiencing right now. As today’s quote suggests, we are all connected.

When a virus begins thousands of miles away and ends up in your neighborhood, that is a reminder of how connected we all are. When a human is senselessly killed and people all around the world come together in the common goal of changing the system that allowed it to happen, that is a reminder of how connected we all are. When small businesses are struggling to stay in business and reach out to the community for support, that is a reminder of how connected we all are.

My encouragement to you is to take good care of yourself today. Because as Yung Pueblo says, “when you heal yourself, you heal the world.”
