Do not walk away from having the conversations that matter. Speak up, take action, love more deeply than you previously thought possible. Be about it. When you talk about what matters you attune your system into a knowing. A way of being were you understand more and more of what is important. Words from 1965 by Martin Luther King Jr. speak to the heart of the matter, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."

AWAKEN: SHOW UP, CALL OUT, TAKE LOVING ACTION
Be the change you wish to see. When we speak out for what we love, when we truly talk about what we love, what matters most to us, what creates connection throughout the world, there is a quickening, a gravity of purpose connected to all that is.

THOUGHT SHIFTER/MEDICINE
Judgment and love are opposites. From one come all the sorrows of the world. But from the other comes deep, abiding, peace. Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone, and judges not. Judgment binds my eyes and make me blind. Yet love, reflected in forgiveness here, reminds peace is yours again. --ACIM
Give love. Connect to the collective heart. Organize for change.
