The Work to be Done
It is easy to dissociate.
It is easy to numb out.
It is easy to be disenchanted.
It is easy to be angry.
It is easy to react.
It is easy to fall into habit.
It is easy to be apathetic.
Empathy takes work.
Compassion takes work.
Healing takes work.
I am here to do the work.
I am here to cultivate my light, my wisdom, my perspective.
I am here to illuminate.
I am not here to sit quietly, except on my meditation cushion.
Compassionate activism.
Spiritual and personal inquiry.
Mindful action.
