This is where I will be speaking on That Which Hurts; "that" being the things that people don't like to hear, the things that make people think I can't possibly be a Lady of Radiant Joy if I speak about such things because they don't spark joy; necessary things.
We cannot heal the world by only looking at the good things in it.
We cannot heal the world by only looking at the bad things in it.
We can only heal the world by accepting all of it, together, that things are the way they are because they are.
But that is not enough. We have to go further.
We can only heal the world by having a vision of what we want in the future, so we can do everything in our power to do the things we can in-the-now to build the bridge between the now-we-want-to-change so we can enjoy the now-of-the-future-we-envision.
We cannot cross the bridge before it is built. May we all do our part in its construction, a labor of love, and cross that bridge to our vision.
A vision of love and beauty, where we can work out our problems without hate and harm.
In order to "be the change" you have to see what needs to be changed, and that means looking at that which hurts. All blessings bright and beautiful, Ruth ~ Lady of Radiant Joy
