vol. 1 Behind the Gaze
There are times in life when you may begin to question everything and everyone around you. The loss of control over your own destiny threatens the foundation of your life’s experiences. There may be no safe way to explain what you are experiencing to others. Life is so simple yet so complex, because of human choices. Unfortunately, it appears as if we are losing our will to extend grace to one another.
What I’ve learned in my life is that love, acceptance and respect are all action verbs. And when you bestow these gifts unto others, I believe it should be done so freely, not with conditions. We must find a way to allow room for grace, for ourselves and for others. And we must re-commit to honoring and loving people by seeing them, listening to them and accepting them for doing/being what makes them happy.
Whether or not this space is safe, is completely up to you, but I hope you feel in-community here. The only expectation is respect for others and an open mind.
welcome.
