Listen

Description

There is a force and calling that compels me to keep creating, making, and sharing my art and my heart. Kafka calls this force “the indestructible.” It is a thing that so badly wants to show you who you are - but you must make the space to hear it and have the courage to follow it. Kafka says, that if you disobey it, it will tear you apart.

Engaged Liberation is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

And so, in not wanting to be torn apart, I listen to that force. I let it motivate and guide me. It pours out of me as a dedication and vow, in all my words written here, in all the art I make, in my breath, and hopefully in my actions - and I imbue each fragment of that force with a prayer of liberation. Dedicated to you.

To you near and you far away. I pray that all the fighting among this planet may immediately come to an end. I pray that the many dangers afflicting humankind may be pacified quickly. I pray that every living being, without exception, can experience peace. I pray that the expansiveness and peace that comes with the practices of Engaged Liberation flourish throughout the world so that all may be liberated from suffering. 

This is my dedication. What is yours? What is your motivation? What is your wish?

Please share it with us, and thank you. xo
