Grief isn’t linear; it’s not something we “get over,” especially if we don’t tend to it, all of it: the messiness, the pain, the rage, the denial, the what ifs. When we attempt to override it with spiritual bypassing or magical thinking or compartmentalizing, or ignoring, we deny ourselves the gift of process and of healing. Grief when left untended becomes complex and it comes out sideways. We are in a state of collective grief:

An unbelievable amount of lives lost,
A virus that is profoundly mismanaged by a government that is also...profoundly mismanaged.

There are so many racial attacks on BLACK bodies, it’s rendering us bereft and enraged and grieving: ALL THE TIME (rightfully so).

Anti-Semitic attacks are at an all time high, leaving us afraid, silenced and grieving.

We never grieved 911. We fought as a nation. Chasing a concept.

Love is indeed the salve. When I started the @lovemoremovement with @revjosephrogers, the intent was to celebrate love, soft love and fierce love. It was also formed to honor our grief.

My LOVE MORE tattoo on my hands is a call to action: to love ourselves (oxygen mask, folx!!) so we can more fully love others. This is work: it’s messy. Muddy. Tear filled, sometimes with laughter seasoned in the soup. We can lean on each other. We must grieve. We must. So we can love hard.

Pass it on.
