When the World Trembles, Choose Love... Every moment asks: will you answer with Love or with fear?

In a world of duality, where free will moves through everything, Chaos is inevitable.
Each morning when I rise, I ask myself: What am I willing to stand alone for? The answer always comes back to Love. Not romantic Love, though that is a beautiful gift when you find the soul who helps you soar, as I have. I mean the Love of existence itself. The Love that moves through every moment, every being, every breath we take. Everything can be seen through the eyes of Love, if we choose it.
But those who grasp for power do not want you to know this truth. Beauty and Love exist everywhere, yet to see it, we must look past the illusions they sell us. We must see beyond the destructive choices of others. We must recognize that every being is, in some way, us. If the old teaching is true, that we are all one, expressions of God as individual cells of the same living fabric, then why do we continue to choose separation?
I once believed we would have evolved far higher in the past two thousand years. Yet here we are, still clinging to the same wounds. Why? Because separation is the lie we have swallowed. Separation from ourselves, from each other, from the reflections of our own divinity. And so long as society convinces us that being an economic slave to the powerful is in our best interest, we will remain trapped. We will keep judging. We will keep dividing. We will keep choosing anything but Love.
I look at this country and I am stunned at the legions who choose hatred over Love. Those who belittle to feel worthy. Those who destroy to feel powerful. Those who remain silent out of fear. This world is vibrating apart, because you cannot rise in frequency and fall in consciousness at the same time. One half reaches for an idea of utopia for all, while the other half reaches for control. One half fights for acceptance, while the other builds new caste systems. All of it driven by the empty space in the heart that seeks to control instead of to heal.
The greatest contradiction I see is this: waving the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag while demanding the right to tread on others. Declaring freedom while working to deny it. And harder still, doing it all in the name of God. How could we believe that God would ever ask us to treat each other this way?
The truth is, we have only ourselves to blame. We chose to follow noise instead of listening to the quiet within. We are afraid of Love. Afraid because it feels vulnerable, soft, too open. Yet society teaches us to see that as weakness. And so we let children drive the bus.
How do we return this world to peace, to Love, to acceptance? I do not know if we can. But I know this: if each of us would stop, even for a moment, and listen, truly listen, we might hear that small, still voice whisper: Enough.
Enough of following the herd. Enough of tearing others down just to feel less small. Enough of teaching children to fear what they don’t understand. Enough of chasing material obsession instead of a peaceful, open, and Loving heart.
We must Bless all involved, on every side. This does not mean we agree. It means we pray for release of their pain, for their fear, for the anger that was shoved down their throats and disguised as truth. Perhaps if even one moment of compassion reaches them, they might find empathy for themselves. And from there, perhaps they might find it for another.
The opposite of Love is not hate, it is fear...
Everything that is not done with Love is born from fear. I cannot fathom the depths of fear carried in another’s heart. I only know the fear I have moved through, and the choice I now make each day to strive for empathy. To live with an outpouring of Love, even for those who are still lost in the separation of their own making.
This is not about politics, not about religion, not about race. It is about fear. Fear that bleeds into anger, judgment, cruelty, and emptiness.
But here is the truth: This too shall pass.
One choice can change everything. The choice to Love ourselves. To embrace both our shadows and our light. To make peace with the darkness we hide, and allow it to finally feel Love. For if we do not, we project that shadow outward, spilling it like poison into the world.
That is what we are seeing today, unclean expressions of shadow vomited onto others. This is what children do when they are starving for attention. If they cannot get it through Love, they will settle for attention through destruction.
Once, I asked a mother, “If your child ran up and smacked you on the leg for no reason, would you smack them back or try to understand what made them act that way?” She answered instantly, “I would smack them back.” Like I said; We haven't evolved much in 2,000 years.
That is our choice point.
Do we react with fear, or do we understand with Love?
The future of our society rests on how we answer this, in every moment of every day.
No matter what unfolds in the days to come, I will always choose Love. For I have lived life guided by fear, and I know the emptiness it brings.
But guided by Love, there is hope, healing, and a path forward...
May these words carry Love into the world, find the ready heart, and wake the quiet within. As I send this as prayer and promise: may those who read it feel seen, held, and moved to choose Love.
Blessings, Love, and Light to all that you hold, both in your heart and in your shadow.






You may be finding hypocrisy with the flag because of confusing libertarians with conservatives. The Gadsden flag is a symbol of libertarianism, freedom from government above all - you can claim the pronouns of a Giraffe and get as many abortions as you want while smoking a doobie and true libertarians won't bat an eye. Christian conservatives are a different group with different beliefs and therefore you will find MANY contradictions between the two. Just like you cannot just assume someone waving a pride flag has the same beliefs as one with a Palestine flag and draw lines of contradiction. Anyhoo, I really love your writing style and enjoy reading your blogs! Much love 😀
