Happy Memorial Day to you all. May we always remember what our Founding Fathers and generations of heroes have sacrificed for us. They fought for the dream of freedom and equality for all who live here, even though it was not yet a perfect realization. And equally as important, may we never forget how close we were to the unthinkable, close to losing everything, especially on January 6. That cancer is still growing.
It is not about politics, let us be very clear. It is about truth and justice and kindness, living with faith, no matter what that faith or religion is, and about simply doing the right thing for yourself and your fellow citizens.
This is on our watch now, and we must stop the craziness and erosion of rights. Until the least among us are protected and valued and living with true equality in every way, freedom is only a mass illusion for all of us. That American Dream is now teetering on an eroding precipice. People who are supposed to be protecting us are instead protecting their power.
Hate is much louder than peace and love, and bad things happen, and are allowed to grow, because good people are silent. But each of us has a hero inside of us, and each one of us can make a difference in big and small ways.
As Gandhi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Small pinpoints of light and love can grow into a magnificent movement of love and light and healing that can spread across this planet. One that loves and protects all beings, animal and human, in all ways. That is my dream.
Today Lord, help us remember the past heroes of our country, and give us courage to become heroes ourselves and make you proud. Help us stand up for others, speak the truth even when it is not the popular thing to do, and walk the lessons of faith that you have shown us. God bless and protect us all, including our troops and their loved ones, and God bless America. Amen.
