A profound necessity to cleanse the enormous destruction brought on in part be the collective numbness to our own vulnerability. Feelings in a deep way are not easily encouraged to express in a safe space. A must before true healing can begin. Can each of choose to open our hearts to the suffering of others without fixing the grief? I stand on Earth, our Great Gaia Mother to remember my roots and connection to all sentient beings..Kwuan Yin the Goddess of

Compassion among many other Saints are here to guide us through the pain of despair and destruction to renewal. Shedding the pain of the past and learning from the lessons of our ancestors. Our responsibility is to accept the great gift this earth has brought to all of of us not only the two legged humans. Aho. Lisa Walking
