You've touched my soul. I've always tried to be kind to people. It really takes a lot to push me to the point where the hateful side shows. But lately with all that is going on in our country today, I've felt anger more and more. That's not me Dino! And I don't like it at all! Your writing has brought tears to my eyes. A softness has seeped back in refreshing me. Its like what you wrote has given me permission to be myself again. And to think, being me can help defeat the empire that is trying so very hard to destroy humanity and freedom! Thank you for showing me that kindness is strength; that to care is not weakness. I will resist the destroyer in my way and care for others while I slowly disrupt their plans and watch them crumble.
This pairs very well with your poem The Light is not Leaving - It’s Just Being Hidden. I am trying to hold this vision of hope too even up in Canada while we watch with horror at what’s happening so close to home.

Your strength is the very stuff you are made of.

Thank you, Ryan. The poem was composed considerably earlier than the essay.
Both speak to me so powerfully all the same.
Achingly beautiful, unvarnished truth, and speaks directly to my spirit. Thank you so very much for this deeply moving piece! 💜💜💜
Thank you for your pearls of wisdom.
