When confronted with unbridled fear
I have only one response: Love one another.
Let me say that in another way: Be gentle with one another.
Let me say that in another way: Be mindful with one another.
Let me say that in another way: Respect one another.
Let me say that in another way: Honor each other’s dignity.
Let me say that in another way: Hold on to one another.
Let me say that in another way: Forgive one another.
Let me say that in another way: Be fully present with one another.
Let me say that in another way: Show compassion to one another.
Let me say that in another way: Recognize each other’s humanity.
Let me say that in another way: Be fabulous with one another.
Let me say that in another way: Namaste.
Let me say that in another way: Treat others as you want to be treated.
And if I haven’t been extremely clear in what I mean,
perhaps these words from Kurt Vonnegut will be helpful:
“God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
In other words, Love one another.
