Try to love one another right now, especially in these precarious times.
By Åsa Nilsson | Oct 20, 2023
These times are troubling, for sure. What with all the horrendousness that is happening in Israel and all over the world. It is enough to make this empathic gal nearly shut down.
Yet, I must not. This isn’t the time for shutting down. It is the time for rising UP. To help HOWEVER I am able.
Can I change the fighting in Israel or in the Ukraine? NO, it isn’t my fight and I am not truly able to understand what is really happening there as I am dependent on the “NEWS” for that information. These are old fights that literally have nothing to do with me YET… can I do something? Anything?
Yes.
I can look at my own home, my own ‘village’, so to speak.
Where can I reach out a hand to someone I know is alone, or lonely, or needs a shoulder or SPACE to speak?
I can lend a helping hand to my ageing mother who needs help organizing and decluttering her home, and most of all, she needs company.
“Come on, people now. Smile on your brother. Everybody get together. Try to love one another right now. “ (Get Together, song by Chester Powers).
Am I insane to think that brothers (and sisters) can ‘get together’. Maybe.
Is it impossible?
No.
Peace and love,
Åsa
