@Kahlissee We all want to see who signed — then they will be feathered and tarred; excluded and shamed; remembered very publicly

@Kahlissee @iseeuliars I want the list of people who signed

I'm seeing a woman who is teaching me how to love wisely. Sometimes, I'm afraid she'll decide to end our connection. Sometimes, a part of me wants to prematurely end it to save myself from the pain of opening my heart more and then getting crushed, but in truth, I've been getting crushed the whole time.

My sense isn't at all that the heart can be "hurt" in a way that lasts; it's not like getting a finger cut off. It's more like getting bruised, and if you can open to it completely, then that bruising serves its purpose of protecting the body and reminding you not to be foolish. We learn to move well, in part, through bruises, and we learn to love well, in part, through heartbreak.

Most (real) relationships seem to involve heartbreak of various intensities. It may be a mild disappointment or a sudden realization that you don't want the same thing, or the sudden seeing that they've been lying to you the whole time and don't really love you (deception is never love), or, you know, them dying. These are all moments of heartbreak. One may whisper through us while the other destroys us, but they have the same flavor of adjusting to a new world where the truth of love is other than you thought it was.

So, on the one hand, ouch! But on the other hand, I deeply want to be aligned with the truth of love. If I can feel the pain all the way, I learn so much about how love works, the patterns and structure of this heart's intelligence.

It is hard to love wisely, the work of a lifetime at least. If we want to learn to love wisely, we want to find relationships that are grounded in sensitive attunement and a shared love of truth. These are hard to find in our culture right now, but I believe there is an enormous and indeed endless longing for that kind of relationship. I believe that longing, clarified, is the latent basis for new kinds of human networks that can move very differently in culture and enact adjacent possibilities that may appear as miracles.

@TheKiffness Reading the comments here, dear @TheKiffness I’m left astonished at the names and arguments raised. There are parallel universes going on here. If the majority of people understood how much R1 trillion is (let alone 4) they might be able to get how deeply we/they’ve been frobbed
