So true!!!

Yesterday, I made a negative comment on Facebook. After thinking, I went back to apologize explain that we need to talk with and listen to each other. We appear to be losing our humanity. Thanks Cameron.

How do we drown out the loud voices calling for cultural dominance? Perhaps 'drown out' is also violent language: smother, dampen, tackle (like the Muslim who tackled the Bondi Beach shooter) - all violent. 'A soft answer turneth away wrath'? Doesn't seem to at all....

Palestinians are killed every day, shot, bombed, deprived of food, water and medical care. You mentioned the 2 deaths at Brown, 3 Syria, and 16 Sydney. Palestinians died

Yesterday too under a farce of a ceasefire. Please don’t forget them. Two years of daily genocide.

Thank you for your inspired writing. I was reminded of an interview with Ocean Vuong where he said the future is in our mouths. We need to turn away from using the language of violence and domination.

Thank you, Cameron. It’s all to easy to harm others through our words.

“The smallest act of mercy is a withdrawal of fuel from the machinery of harm.”

I’m praying today that I can spread mercy and not harm in both my thoughts and words. I have to confess it’s been more of a challenge these days….

Thank you—thank you! For this and all your posts. Im am 82 —with 3 adult and 5 grand kids—and committed to nurturing, creating, a culture of life. In any and all ways I can. In the face of the death cults.
