Thank you, Adi!

The heart-wrenching stories of human suffering in the extreme can be witnessed all around us. It is challenging to navigate the past and current mazes of deception, inhumanity, and extensive disregard for the stories that can tell so many stark realities.

The mind and human heart are being tested beyond our privileged comforts and complacent discernment that views and looks on from a distance.

It feels to be the greatest test for keeping one's heart open as it breaks apart into a thousand pieces of the unfathomable collective grief that can be garnered from the mills of history, current events, and times forgotten.

It is relentless, and the penetrating bittersweet gift within it all is the deepening of my compassion and my resolve to not turn my gaze aside while allowing so much suffering to be seen and felt as I sit upon my comfortable perch surveying the terrain of such horrors, atrocities, and the ongoing resilience of the human condition.

Each of our hearts echoes the archives of human suffering. It beckons for the love and courage of a peaceful warrior whose eyes are wide open. -Tru
