Taking it all in & learning how to give thanks during this most awkwardly painful year. Today in the US we celebrate Thanksgiving. I’m giving thanks to being alive, to feeling, to healing & ultimately to the shifting that we have all been forced to go through. Where will it all lead? What does it all mean? I have no idea. What I am trying to do each day is to focus on those aspects of life that are within my reach & to act with love & intentionality in those aspects while surrendering & recognizing my limitations in all the other areas that concern me, but that are currently beyond my reach. Perhaps at some point those aspects of concern will slowly by slowly become closer in reach to my influence. For now...today I am thankful for what I can influence & pray that these ripples of change will help lift others. After all, I would not be where I am today if those around me hadn’t done the same for me. • Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Thankful for all of you who have helped carry me & those I hold dear through this year thus far. Big love!! 🙏🏼❤️ //////////// #thanksgiving #family #2020 #love #liveubuntu (at Storm Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CID2Jv-FoZx/?igshid=1dyfrlr4hv2al

Whenever I groan within myself and think how hard it is to keep writing about love in these times of tension and strife which may at any moment become for us all a time of terror, I think to myself, “What else is the world interested in? What else do we all want, each one of us, except to love and be loved, in our families, in our work, in all our relationships. God is Love. Love casts out fear. Even the most ardent revolutionist, seeking to change the world, to overturn the tables of the money changers, is trying to make a world where it is easier for people to love, to stand in that relationship with each other of love...There can never be enough of it. - Dorothy Day ////////////// #dorothyday #love #community #liveubuntu #montana (at Ennis, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFHok4el99S/?igshid=5itu3o8ldwwi

A storm is brewing up over our land The dark clouds are forming Threatening, expand A swallowing rage seems to hover, consuming what was once sacred Now faintly remembered, as future generations wave hands. White supremacy. Black Lives Matter. Washington, King, Jefferson & Parks. What will become of us? Cancel culture? Intolerance? A free speech forgotten, our liberties a hush. A freedom replaced with a fear of our foundings failures. A deafening to the others pleas, our brothers keeper imprisoned. White Jesus. Black Jesus. Native American lands pillaged to casinos. Where have we gone? Were we ever really here? God help us remember, to love one another. So that as storms always do, pass followed by calm, leaving our beliefs, our mountains Our sacred spaces Our footing A solid ground? Or a fleeting memory? May this storm test us, and leave us stronger still. A human race of multiple colors, and one heart, our prayer to Thee. Amen. ///////////// #america #love #one #liveubuntu (at Soldiers Chapel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCugZPJl9rq/?igshid=i5277l2uy05c

I watched @officialspikelee epic film, “Do The Right Thing” last night. I cannot recommend this film enough, especially right now during our present times. It is scary just how relevant this film is today & it was released in 1989. • The film was so impactful on me it sent me down an internet rabbit hole leading me to this powerful illustration by artist @thatlaundry of George Floyd wearing Radio Raheem’s signature love-hate knuckle rings from the film. So much being said in this art piece. Everyday we have a choice between LOVE & HATE. Leaning into LOVE is not easy. It makes us uncomfortable, vulnerable, scared even. However, LOVE is the only option regarding this issue any longer. HATE has had its day. • I’ve experienced & witnessed this over & over on a large scale not only in the US, but also across Africa. We fear what we do not know. I’ve been on a 20 year journey working & living in Africa. While this does not put me in a position to fully understand the pain of racism from the perspective of my African-American brothers & sisters, it does give my privileged white maleness a very unique perspective nonetheless. I am going to make sure that I exercise that unique perspective to guide my actions & the actions of our company @ubuntu.life to “do the right thing,” by what we say, what we do & how we continue to listen & learn. • If there are specific areas for us as a company to be better or key things for us to know please friends reach out to us & let us know. We need your guidance. The journey continues. Big love! ❤️ /////////// #justice #love #georgefloyd #dotherightthing #liveubuntu #sharedhumanity #ubuntu https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJBZwtFh5U/?igshid=jj2w7nd0zxbe
