Harriet Tubman

You think of those black people she helped save

Some by force she had to

Because they became scared and wanted to go back

Even though it meant certain death or extreme punishment 

So imagine once they did get to freedom 

All hundreds of them

They had to assimilate and learn a new paradigm of living

From life long slave to freedom had to be quite the life shift 

And to come to what exactly?

Not like they had rich ancestors to rely on 

An education 

Even language barriers 

For dialectic, regional and race differences 

They had to have a support system of some kind 

No?

It’s the exact same for immigrants 

Except no one wants them 

At least in the north there seemed to be some humanity available then

Where did that go?

For Example

If instead of saying something in anger

When a person cuts us off on the freeway

Saying AND feeling in our hearts

“God bless them”

and add “I hope they make it home safely”, if you can stomach it

Either way

Wouldn’t the world be a much fucking better place

If that were actually possible?

It would be a better place to live for all parties concerned

When you come from a place of love and acceptance and gratitude*

It can really Infect your heart

It rubs off on you and seeps into your life

How do you want to live this life?

What do you want infecting your soul

Hatred or love

Bring it!!!

Do it for yourself if you have to.

Let’s all stop throwing rocks out your glass houses

Let’s think of whatever we throw out as more of a boomerang. Lol

The more you do it the easier it gets...

But if anyone told you life was meant to be always easy

Check for oil under their shoes**

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha

*sometimes it just helps me to think “wow, I so glad I’m not you”. Mostly in the sense that they seem unhappy or are probably stressed or something and I’m glad I’m not inhabiting that space. Like phew!  Hey. Just trying to find my happiness. Gratitude usually gets me there quite nicely.

**snake oil salesman. Get it?  Way old reference. Lol
