vulnerability to prejudice

Love to anyone and everyone feeling vulnerable and hurt, right now.

Love to anyone and everyone feeling let down and disappointed.

Big love to all those who feel unheard, dismissed, undervalued, disrespected.

And more love to those feeling targeted, attacked, vilified, oppressed, isolated, alone.

I see you.

I hear you.

I love you.

You are rainbow. You are gold. You are sun and moon and stars. You are fire. You are laughter. You are hugs and flowers and the sound of distant wind chimes dancing on a gentle breeze. You are flowing water. You are mango. You are lightning and thunder and the scent of rain as it nourishes the earth. You are a good sleep, a dense tropical forest, a vibrant coral reef and the spring in a confident step. You are inspiration. You are breath. You are love and light and life. No matter what, you are all of these things - and much, much more - all of the time.

I love you.

author's note: this is a new edit of an original piece i posted to my facebook page in september 2017 - during the unnecessary, hurtful and shameful clusterfuck of the australian marriage equality survey. i now extend these sentiments to every single beautiful and unique individual who experiences any kind of structural and cultural prejudice and oppression. i know it doesn't fix the issues contributing to it, or the very real circumstances that result from it, but i hope it reminds you of who you are, reassures you and fills you with the sense that you are, always and forever, infinitely more profound - bigger, deeper, broader, fuller and realer - than any ignorance, bigotry or bigoted behaviour. more love. love. love. mxo
