Let yourself be changed, heavy.
Your body cannot stop this violence, and neither can mine. But we must do something.
More than 13,000 children have died in this conflict. To conceptualize that number, I took one step for each child who has been killed. I walked 5.98 miles. We have to find ways to embody and understand the gravity of this loss in order to direct all of our love toward change. Otherwise, we get numbed by numbers.
“We who are alive on earth at this time have a duty, responsibility, obligation to repair this world. No mater who harmed it or how it was harmed, by virtue of the gift of miraculous life, we are ordained to be medicine, to make medicine, to choose healing and liberation, today, tomorrow, and for all the suns and moons to come” - Jaiya John
The violence in Palestine has gotten so much worse and yet it sadly gets easier to get numb to the numbers like you said. Such a good idea to make those lives more concrete and real (because they are!) in your daily life <3
