“Something hurts in there.  Can you feel it?  We are all in this together.  One earth, one tribe, one people.  We have entertained these teachings like this long enough in our meditations and prayers.  Can we take them now into the political world and create an eye of compassion inside the political hate vortex?  It is time to do it.  It is time to up our game.  It’s time to stop feeding hate.  Next time you post online, check your words and see if they smuggle in some kind of hate, dehumanization, snark, belittling, derision, some invitation to us versus them.  Notice how it feels kind of good to do that… like getting a fix.  And, notice what hurts underneath and how it doesn’t feel good really.  Maybe it is time to stop.”
