			My fellow citizens, 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			The rise of this blusterous man bewilders the educated among us, conjoins opposing politicians, agonizes our international allies, threatens minorities, spits on the disabled, and touches the hearts of those who just don't know any better. Let us stop propounding how mad this all is, but instead, do something. Liselotte Hubner Germany, 1929

			 Love is a divine energy 
		that steps into human circumstances, a timeless essence that enters time and then things become categorically different. Time has a strange new quality. It passes before we have a moment to rest in it. There’s a new softness in our midst, a way of being with one another, that is gracious and gentle and kind. There is also a beautiful strangely infiltrating awareness, a mystic pulse of connection that seems to be gathering us together. - Daphne Rose Kingma  |

			Do I fear love?  Yes, in the same way I fear the ocean.  I only cross its depths when I'm equipped.  I respect love as it were the sea.  Both have their own power: their own way.  I am obliged to bend to their will, or become another casualty who has mistakenly thought themselves smart enough to tame them.  I stand in awe of love. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I will only try and navigate its vast and wonderful depths with someone who is in awe of love too. Michael Xavier
