I read you carefully as I’m sure others do too.

In the present and future time it would be even better to be read by those who don’t resonate with you, methinks.

And how to achieve that?

Well, they are probably not taking care of either their own body, mind or soul. On the contrary. Which hurts both them, those around them and the whole planet by and by.

So what I try to do and find immensely difficult is to try and find something in them I can feel some empathy or at least understanding for.

Empathy does not entail acceptance and even less support. Even so I find this very difficult with certain people.

Then of course there are those around them who get hurt in the process.

Here the difficulty for me lies in allowing myself to find ways to go on while those that I feel so drawn to have no choice. Neither do their families, the work of their lives or even the ground they so often are not allowed to stand upon anymore.

And then, come to think of it, what about this very ground, this earth that gets blown up, poisoned, parched, inundated, stolen and raped incessantly?

How do I resonate with that? I mean from its point of view.

I can cease and desist to saw the branch I’m perching on but that’s my point of view.

This planet Terra is still the only one we know with life on it. And some part of this life, some human beings, are set to annihilate all life and even the very possibility of life, including themselves.

A part of me immediately says: and good riddance!

Except for the fact that earth will be a moon. Very different from the complex stellar entity that it is now.

How do I resonate with that?

Perhaps trough this very “resonance” that you mentioned.

It begins with empathy. And if that brings me beyond my friends to my enemies I hope that what may happen in between us may be of significance to the very planet we all stand upon.

This is just a working hypothesis. And it will only be proved at great costs.

Rivers of blood, mountains of despair parading obscene in front of me and everybody else. There is no lying enough to cover up all that.

Therefore I read you attentively, although I am just one of those who resonate with you and not of great value in the effort to rise above sympathies.
