The news of the bomber yesterday in Manchester,
Why?
It's so easy to lose it into rage and confusion and fear.
I have no answers why stuff like this happens to innocent people,
But I do know what the question is - for me at least.
"What can I do?"
In my small sphere of influence -
What can I do to spread understanding and acceptance and compassion?
What can I do to end ignorance and fear?
What can I do to grow and nurture what is good and right about life?
It's so easy to get stuck in a loop of merely surviving, of getting through life.
Events like these are a reminder that I don't want to merely survive,
I want to make sure I leave this planet a better place than when I found it.
And I know for sure whatever I say or do, the foundation for that begins within me first.
Take care, Arjuna
