I am so happy to see the beautiful athlete, Gus Kensworthy, performing in the winter Olympics! This man has shown dedication to improving his skill in skiing, he has not given up when faced with defeat and injury, and he is courageous enough to face the consequences of being openly gay. I’ve never understood why gender or sexual preference should stand in the way of any endeavor, and I’m thrilled to see this antiquated way of thought is falling away from our collective belief systems. We’re all people and we’re all in this together. We may disagree on many topics, but so what? We don’t get angry if someone doesn’t like green beans and we do, so why become defensively aggressive if we disagree on politics or anything else? Yes, some things are obviously love-based and other are fear-based, but we can talk about it without accusations and shouting. I see great things happening as a direct result of people becoming more engaged in what’s happening in our world. Let’s keep on growing and learning, shining common sense and kindness on any frightened defensiveness hiding in the shadows. When we open a dark closet, the dark doesn’t escape; the light goes in. Namasté…
