I could not process what I had just seen. It was not a movie. It was not a dramatic reenactment. It was the death of another human being. I had never seen a human being die before. The charge I felt was poignant and real. _ This was last week, before the officer in question had been charged and before the protests that have spread across the U.S. this week happened. People have called upon me to speak up and take action. I made a post that was a tribute to the three recent deaths of African Americans. I have not posted or written anything else since, until today. People are right to call me out. I can do more. People are right to call each other out. We can all do more. _ There’s too much to say, too much to process. I haven’t entirely worked out my own personal feelings as I am being called upon to make public statements of meaning for others. While I can’t rush my own process, I can share my process with you. _ Many white spiritual practitioners who watched the death of George Floyd might think that they had nothing to do with it. They are shocked and saddened but cannot see how their own lives are directly connected. Well, when you silently and tacitly participate in a culture of violence, you are a cog in the wheel of racism. Whether you yourself are the perpetrator or not, your belonging to that culture means you share in the guilt. I do not write this to shame you. I’m part of that culture too. We all are. I write this to inspire you to do the work to remove the seeds of violence from within yourself and then to play a role in removing the seeds of violence from our world. _ Just as you are advised to sit with your pain in your practice, you are advised to sit with the pain of others in your life. Your heart must be big enough to embrace all the suffering and loss of the African American community right now. Make space for justifiable anger and sit with your own discomfort. Let your love be strong enough to lead to actionable results, not just nice words. This is yoga. _ Full blog here— https://bit.ly/2」6月2日 5時06分
