Lately, I have been writing more about \u201cwe\u201d than about myself. I often replace the words \u201cme\u201d and \u201cmy\u201d with \u201cour\u201d\u2014our search, our future, our world, our fear, our hesitation, our powerlessness, our spirits. My \u201cwe\u201d is not secluded but airy and warm. I feel contained in it. It is like an inviting space that I both create and enter. Soft as a supplication, something weaves there, like a waiting for solace that cannot be asked for directly. When I write \u201cwe,\u201d my heart feels that where others can be, it wants to be too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Something has become quiet, has sat down, is no longer making a fuss\u2014and suddenly realizes: \u201cwe\u201d is a sacred space. Without walls and without oppression. \u201cWe\u201d is built on care and the ability to experience others as oneself. \u201cWe\u201d contains multitudes and variation. \u201cWe\u201d is love that has become conscious, in which all creation is contained. Are we love that has become conscious, in which all creation is contained? That is far too big for me to bear alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
