In these times of chaos and collapse
We need great sensitivity
To bring the best of humanity to our relationships and interactions
To change the script
To ignore the toxic label of being “too sensitive” and the blame of “over-reacting”
Which for too long has been used to silence and demonize
To legitimize behaviour that is uncaring, disrespectful, and unkind
To legitimize taking, using, greed and lust
To justify lack of respect, harsh criticism, cruelty, and abuse in all its guises and disguises
Allowing oppression and patriarchy free reign
Sensitive awareness is the key to loving kindness
To compassion
Sensitive awareness is finely tuned to nuance
To the subtle that is easily overlooked or ignored
To deeper consciousness, and the cutting edge of being human
Sensitive awareness leads to alignment with right action
Rather than convenient, expedient, selfish or expected action
In these times of chaos and collapse
We need great awareness
To feel the death / extinction of creatures and ecosystems
To grieve their passing
To recognize the callousness of humans in this willful destruction
To record the folly
To sit with young people and share their tears
To walk in nature and feel the elementals
To hold the fairies and devas in our hearts as they lament our doom
To speak for Pachamama
It is important to distinguish sensitivity from how we process and behave in expressing our sensitivity
And it is time to reassess what “over-reaction” is in light of rampant injustice and the plundering of people and places
It takes great courage to be sensitive
So easy to be numb
Honour your sensitivity
Your gift
Hone your growing awareness
To even greater sensitivity
Be bold
