The World Is Shaking

My heart goes out to the victims of Bondi Beach. May this pain awaken us to the united world we are meant to grow together.

The Act of Creating is something intensely powerful at times like these. It is an individual process but if others connect magic happens. I hope you connect to these words.

Peace be with you today.

The World Is Shaking

🌱 Seeded by CJB today

Red stains crackle into dawn
as a shoreline wrestles
with tides older than hate,
their pull monotonous,
as if violence keeps repeating
the same exhausted lesson.

What faith, what book, what war
has ever learned
how to justify a body
that will not rise again?

To feel love,
you must first love.
To love deeply,
you must first feel.

Revenge is not a place for peace.

Do not insult God
by acting through fear
and calling it belief.

Water does not curse the sun
for taking it skyward.
Stars do not rage
when their ancient power dims.

They release.
They move.
They become something else.

Here is the act:
pause before judgment.
Breathe before blame.
Choose love
while the primal-ego
demands a target
in its monotonous need
to be right.

This is how the soul acts
when the world is shaking.

So whatever story
the primal-ego tells —
the fear,
the fury,
the justifications —

release it.

Never again let humanity forget itself.
Never again excuse the breaking
of what cannot be remade.

Today, let every sacred language
break into light —
not argument —
across every culture,
every shore.

And if anger rises
asking for permission,
notice it.
Do not follow.

For thine is the kingdom —
not the knife.
Not the power.
Not the monotonous story
that needs an enemy.

Amen.

Deepest love,
CJB 💚
