Hāwane Rios Instagram – amplifying with the most sacred solidarity i can make as offering to me’e aloha ‘āina Palesetina @wizard_bisan1 “Merry Christmas, but don’t forget Gaza” plea to you this christmas eve do not forget Palestine do not forget West Papua do not forget The Congo do not forget Sudan do not forget all oppressed people doing everything they can to survive deliberate violent genocidal attacks unto their beloved homelands and beloved families. do not forget all oppressed people living under fascist regimes that profit off of the war and murder. do not forget Lahaina do not forget Hawai’i do not forget the the Moananui do not forget them do not forget me do not forget you do not forget us for the sake of the earth for the sake of this generation and all generations to come care. care enough to get curious about unfiltered self reflection. unlearn. dissect the patterns and addictions to the violence and harm they so carefully and intricately normalized for us look. remove the film over your eyes and look at what you have been taught and question what does not feel pono, feel correct, to you. change. be humble to knowing that you do not know everything & that what you have been taught has the potential to cause harm and more separation. evolve. delve into your own consciousness and open yourself to healing your own pain and trauma – feel it all the way through and tether yourself to your own empathy feel. invite yourself to feel from a place of awareness and mindfulness, from the place in yourself that connects you to the heart of all humanity. and allow yourself to witness the pain of others with the wisdom of eight eyes. and choose to love. and allow for that love to active change within who you are. and may that change, change everything around you. imagine if all did that. imagine if we all healed so deeply we valued and respected all life again. only then, there would be so no more war. until then, i’ll keep chanting from the river to the sea palestine shall be free #freepalestine #kūkiaipalesetina #freepalestinesolidairty #permanentceasefirenow
