The ongoing brutalities inspired me to bring awareness to what we do every day, how we do it, how it impacts our lives, and how we can bring real lasting change to the world.

It’s not only Gaza

Not only Auschwitz

And all the butchers

That history’s forgotten

It’s also how we treat

Ourself

Each other

The animals

The trees

The land

The sea

The air

And the entire planet

It’s what we humans do

It’s a pattern

And it will never end

Unless

Change comes from within

From our hearts – to our hands

Because our hands

Pull the trigger

Press the button

Sign the injustice

Thrust the knife

Withhold affection

Pay the killers

Strike the woman

Abduct the innocent

Lock the doors

Silence, butcher and maim

Rape, torture and burn

And write the lies

When instead

Our hands could lovingly

Offer help

Hug with love

Water a tree

Give support

Comfort a friend

Hold another hand

Run through someone’s hair

Tickle playfully

Flirt

Caress

Offer a gift

Stroke with affection

Show someone the way

Make love

Pick up trash

Point to something beautiful

Relieve someone’s pain

Write something beautiful

Make art

Play

And so much more…

How do you touch the world?

Is your heart in your hands?
