How can compassion heal our fractured hearts, communities and the world?

For some reason, I am really excited. Today, I get to love on my community. Thousands have been laid off from the CDC. Our veterans need support. Yoga Nidra is not strenuous. You lay on the floor and listen to instructions to relax specific muscles.
Come.

As the Trump administration slashes programs and resources, states are on the hook to reinforce public health protections, mitigate harms, and safeguard the public’s health. See CAP's new article: www.americanprogress.org/article/4-wa...
4 Ways States Can Safeguard Public Health During the Trump Administration
In the face of Trump administration threats to public health, states can empower and equip public health officials with the tools they need to protect their communities.

Over 100,000 federal workers have lost their jobs since inauguration. Today, 2,400 alone were laid off from the cdc.

I say that each of us can do what we can, where we can, how we can, for whom we can, when we can.

This is what we can do in this moment. Please share widely.

What can you do?

Because we need more beauty in the world! A Gustav Klimt portrait of a West African prince, was displayed for the first time in nearly a century at last week’s European Fine Art Fair in the Netherlands. a member of the Ga (Osu) people from present-day Ghana, against a backdrop of hazy floral forms.

We must begin the "shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.” - MLK

We lay down our arms
so we can reach out our arms
to one another
We seek harm to none and harmony for all
Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped
That even as we tired, we tried
