#M4BLPledge and thoughts on it...
Black Lives Matter
Until that day comes:
We pledge togetherness--- we will not allow ourselves to be divided.
We pledge to allow our thinking and actions to be guided by love.
We pledge to bring courage and power into our communities, and stop their flow out.
We pledge not to be controlled by fear, but instead by our dreams.
#M4BLPledge
While I am indigenous and believe the problems we face will be solved when it becomes clear that America stands 100% with us instead of the other way around, I support the movement!! People always act like you are being rude or crazy to bring it up, but it is important...The whole western system is built on blood and lies, murder, rape and theft... there is no honor in it no matter how much they pretend there could be "only if..." whatever... So there is no point in trying to "fix" something that is horribly misshapen right from the start!
People try to act as if it takes something away from "the movement" to mention indigenous, acting as if we are trying to divide everyone... but it is the opposite actually... It is not either / or as westerners would have us believe... We all matter and it is indigenous lands AND we stand united with Black Lives Matter!! (and that scares "the dreaded them" that they can't divide us!!)
So when you see an indigenous person bringing up "native" issues it is not an attempt to divide the country, but to show the solution!! So thank them for bringing it up instead of saying "shut up, this is their moment" or whatever... There is a reason we politely cough to bring attention to ourselves like this...
Do I believe you should follow the link and take the pledge? Yes, of course! We do need to show support! When anyone is suffering it is important to send your love and thoughts to them!! There is so much pain and suffering in the world, that can end when we truly unite! sending you all hugs and love, this terror is momentary and will pass and what will remain is our love!!
How I see "the Pledge"...
togetherness is 100% necessary! that does not mean we need to all look alike, think alike, sound alike, etc. We are all allowed to be ourselves and that is the true definition of togetherness!!
Thinking and Actions guided by love - too often we have a goal in mind and concentrate on that, which is fine, but we can not ignore what is happening around us! It is ok to get angry when someone needlessly dies, but do not let that anger guide you! The pledge means that we will try to stop and fill our minds and hearts with love while deciding what to do next! While anger and hate can feel so powerful, they are momentary and do not last while love does last and linger...
Courage and Power -these are strong words, but positive words! courage does not mean go pick a fight, it means don't turn away when a fight is happening. Even if we can not stop the fight by ourselves when enough gather together, it will happen and that is what "power" is!
No fear but Dreams- this I believe 100%... Have the faith that good is happening all around and that your dreams can come true! some days reading the news it seems impossible to imagine but little by little, we change the tide and a wave of love and goodness will come to us all!
The pledge is beautiful and "doable" today!
