everything rides on hope now:
From the recent tragedy, I have learned that we own nothing. Not the cars that we drive or the beds that we sleep on; not the money that we spend…not even the clothes on our bare skin.
We. own. nothing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
And the sooner we realize that, the sooner we’ll be able to acknowledge that we are not our things. We are not our possessions. We are not even our achievements or accomplishments or our grandiose works of art.
In the face of losing everything, we learn that all we truly are is the love that we give which can never be devastated by calamity or ruined by war. It is the only thing in this world that persists and never runs out. Ever.
So keep on giving. Always always keep on giving.
To the volunteers and donors, the rescue team, the poster makers, the prayer warriors and the people who are actively working to help get the nation through this mess: you guys are my heroes. Thank you.
