This is my blog in the wake of last quarter’s insanity. Our communities are struggling to communicate, our children are receiving mixed messages of what right and wrong look like, and our economies are in a political upheaval. There were many, many other infractions to our brothers and sisters.

We must stop. We must stop the violence. We must stop the doomsday mentality. We must stop revenge. We must stop ignoring mental illness. We must stop pretending there is no darkness. We must stop destroying each other. We must stop destroying our planet.

We must stop our apathy.

We must stop our ignorance.

We must stop our arrogance.

We must stop creating an insane world. We must stop living in ego. We must stop choosing fear. We must stop sleepwalking. We must stop mindlessness. We must stop separation. We must stop pretending we are not connected to one another.

We must shift to a force stronger than greed, hatred, violence, revenge, and fear.

And that other force…simply…love.

Choose love.

With the intensity of divine love,

Maria
