Breathe in Love, let go of hate
It's amazing the support I have gotten over the incident of hatemail yesterday. Yes, yesterday I reported it to fetlife support, and today, given new information directly from the creator of FetLife.com, sent it to something I did not know exist, the report team :) report@ fetlife.com, who knew!But what I do find sadness in is some of the types of responses I have seen within my livejournal friends, followers, and loved ones.Hate for hate does not help my loves.Offers for death, violence and destruction keep perpetuating the cycle.Gosh yes they can be tempting at times- but who do they serve? Destruction serves a purpose, and some of us are called to be devotees of Shiva, of The Morrigan, to court Hel and find love in Kali's bloody embrace- but we do so with drive. With a point. Is this worth that energy that can change the world?Other comments included stuff like "You are worth more than them." I am one person. They are one person. I wonder sometimes at the concept of needing to strike down the value of others just because they are lashing out from their place in space, their point in time, laden down with their baggage and holding up their projection on me.I'm incredibly grateful I received this hatemail. It gave me an opportunity to see how much pain my friends are carrying around. I posted it because I was truly, honestly, in shock. Because this person, whether they knew it or not, hit on a lot of personal sadness of mine (my desire to burn my breasts, still located in a fridge, in a fire; my cannibal fetish role play with one of my lovers; my uncertainty of my place in gender given my upcoming trip to a women's only conference that has me emotionally conflicted). I felt shock, awe, confusion, frustration...But to see the venom, rage and hate reflected was an amazing eye opener for me.I am sorry you hurt.I am so sorry that this message to me, this piece of sadness set adrift on the seas of the internet, hit you too. That it struck such a chord.How can we help heal this rage. Rage serves a purpose. Having it tear us up inside is not it's purpose.Breathe in the Love.I love you.The world loves you.Thou art divine!Let go of the rage that does not serve you.*breathe in the love*Let go of the pain that does not serve you.*breathe in the love*Let go of the hurt that does not serve you.*breathe in the love*Love.Love.Love.*and thank you again for all the people, occurrences, emails, sunsets, baggy jeans, overheard conversations and more that the universe keeps setting hookups with for me to remind me that I am loved, that the world loves me, and that I too am divine.*
