Watch how your mind judges. Judgment comes, in part, out of your own fear. You judge other people because you’re not comfortable in your own being. By judging, you find out where you stand in relation to other people. The judging mind is very divisive. It separates. Separation closes your heart. If you close your heart to someone, you are perpetuating your suffering and theirs. Shifting out of judgment means learning to appreciate your predicament and their predicament with an open heart instead of judging. Then you can allow yourself and others to just be, without separation…

Homeless people are human beings with immense value.  They are members of our families, communities, neighborhoods, cities, and, for a number of people reading this, they are themselves (or have been).

The fact that homeless people do not have housing is a wrong done against them, not a sign they did something wrong.  To then try and ban them from public spaces and existing in public (including doing things we all have to do, like sleep or eat), is yet another grievous wrong.

An attack on homeless people is not “protecting the community”, it is an attack on the community.  Homeless people aren’t my enemy, those who would ban them from things like sleeping in public are my enemy.

@ all lgbt ppl : your existence is revolutionary. just existing is genuinely, genuinely a rebellion and an act of strength and bravery. you don’t have to do anything, just breathing and making it to see another day is wild. i’m so proud of us, honestly. i’m in awe by all of us just…existing. they want us gone, they want us dead, they want us– i can’t. i don’t have anything to say, i just. i want you all to know i love you. and your existence is rebellion.
