The news sounds like a bad joke, but it’s real,
and it just keeps coming. I don’t know which to feel
(it’s as if Dudley Dursley Voldemort is at the wheel)—
confusion, horror, outrage, or despair.
How did chaos and cruelty become our air?
(I suppose, underneath, it was always there.)
Anyway, the practice remains the same:
to live with kindness as my aim
(and tend its fire until it’s a flame).
In the notebook
It sure is a lot to take in, that's for sure. Sending kindness, peace, and good vibes your way! ❤️
