Imagine More Love, Less Hate

I have struggled with what to write after the horrific events of Saturday night. I am swimming in feelings on every end of the spectrum. There is a huge amount of pain and fear but also there is so much more love and beauty in the aftermath. I have held onto the thought that love will always win.I know this. In my almost-45 years on this earth, I have met many people in my life -- Devout Jews and Muslims, Born-again Christians and Atheists. Gay and Straight, and every beautiful color in the rainbow. Black and white, native and pilgrim. Immigrant and patrician. In all of those people, I have never known anyone capable of the acts that happened two nights ago. Personally, I do not care why he hated. It was hate and hate must end.What happened is so earth-shaking that I do not want to reduce it to FB memes and hashtags. That said, I have found the tag #morelovelesshate to be one that I can hold onto in this troubling time.

More Love, Less Hate

That is really what this world needs. More acceptance and understanding. More kindness and tolerance.#morelovelesshateThose who have followed me since my 38 and Growing days, know how much music is a part of my life. The song "Imagine" has run through my head over and over. So today, I want to share it with my sincere hope that we can imagine a world with more love and less hate.
