Thank you Douglas. The rather concise remark you made in the post below bears a lot of weight in my heart especially in the context of the world we live in now.
“To become more deeply concerned to our conscience we will need to match our commitment to action. But it is when our hearts break and we feel pain, a shared pain, we learn that yoga means to embrace paradox: we must stand fast for the truth and at once become parties to change, to growth, to learning and progress.”
Thank you, as always, for these thoughts. I appreciate your impressions of courage displayed by citizens on the streets of Minneapolis and other cities in their resistance against ICE and other federal agents and officials. Manas, indeed, in the face of no small risk and in the name of the truth of seeing and showing illegalities and violence against nonviolent, protesting citizens. It does appear, given our polity, those citizens, the courts, officials committed to the rule of law (clearly, the administration is not), and each of us ourselves are where we must place our trust (a word that asks more of us than “hope”). So much is at stake.
Thank you. I've just been in tears watching footage from the thousands of brave people filming and bearing witness to authoritarian violence. And then I listened to Dolly Partons new release Light of a Clear Blue Morning. Thank you Douglas for sharing your deep wisdom.
