Yes, that is what we can do in our daily lives!! No doubt!
I have recently had a thought what it would take... we would have to come together, human kind in quiet protest... citizens of humanity.
Globally. Its not just the US.
Imagine there was a war and nobody shows up.
Imagine there are elections and nobody shows up.
And so forth...
Solidarity for the greater good. In peace.
Yeah.. i know... LOL
I can't see that happening either.
Some are already talking about yet another war.. the insanity.. where will that leave us and who would be in charge after that?!!!
I think we truly need a miracle... something that will make people realize that fighting each other for petty differences and misguided believes is not only a detriment for a good future but it has the potential to destroy us.
And then act as one. Help each other to boycott the bs, refuse to go along with the insanity.... build a new society/world that our kids will want to live in.
What I see coming is a forced "reset" some natural disaster that'll either brings us back to the stone age or a complete wipe out.
Rather sooner than later from what I can see.
Humans ( some ) have become the scorch of the earth. We have lost respect for each other, mother earth and all its creatures.
And God of course.
Our leaders and industries have lost it ( arrogance, ignorance and greed ) and are either not willing or not capable to stop this juggernaut it seems.
I don't want to leave this on a negative note.
There is always hope!
Here some funnies:
"If I was Mother Earth, God or the Universe, they'd drop like flies!!!"
"We could add a Buddhist Monk to the government, he would have the last word in all desicions...
he also gets a stick to deal with the animals there and a vacation every other week to not get corrupted or poisoned.
Only one term no more re- elections.
Lobbyists will be working on roads and in public toilets and CEO's!!!
Half the white house will be converted into a temple.. make that 3/4!!!!
Politicians will stay in quarters that reflect the worst circumstances in their nation."
😂😂😂
"Religious leaders all around the world will be asked to write one book, together.
Not to confuse us or control us, just universal spitiual truths, laws and guidlines that will evoke a spiritual awakening.
An, thank you so much for writing, too. What will it take indeed? How do we find the fortitude when we're in the clutches of evil? I'm thinking of conversations from early in the pandemic, with the layering of racial reckoning, with hate at top of the agenda from a certain White House. What do we do? How do we? One crumb at a time. Every bit helps, even when it doesn't feel like it. Be well.
Thank you for writing this and for all you and others with WCK are doing in the world. My heart both breaks for the tragedy and swells for the love and humanity demonstrated by you all.
Dear Kathleen, thank you for these words. It is a loss for us all. He was that good. Stay tuned for more updates from another friend who's been in touch with his family. We have one of his favorite recipes and hope to share in coming days. All best.
so beautiful, as usual, Kim. you capture the spirit and light of Damian perfectly. his was a quiet presence and a subtle strength, always kind, thoughtful, and always there. what ever was needed and wherever it was needed, Damian was almost there before you asked him, and he was always so protective of the teams working at the train station especially at night. thank you for the beautiful tribute xo
Jacquie, it is good to hear from you. I am in a state of deep humbling, I can’t really explain it. You are your own force of good + I know you know that. We need all of it, all the crumbs, to make the most giant cake. Xx
I'm grateful to be in this place, at this late stage of my life where I am finally situated to be able to use my strengths, experience, skills to work on behalf of my community. Long time coming! Sending you hugs, my friend. Here's to more of that cake!
Kim - thank you for sharing. These losses are heartbreaking. I've learned that a friend of mine was friends with Zomi, and you make me wish I knew them both. May we carry it forward.
Kim --thank you for this brave reportage. I'm heartbroken for you, for the WCK family, for the world. in Broken Palate, Laine Doss shares another recollection of Zomi Frankcom and Damian Sobol comes from Miami chef Karla Hoyos, who worked with both of them. https://www.brokenpalate.com/p/seven-world-central-kitchen-team
What a wonderful kind person. His face is light and love x
I am so sorry for your loss - and ours too…. Thank you for sharing who Damian was with us.
Thank you Kim!
One crumb at a time!!! Love that!

Let them teach us some true humility!"
How is that??!! Hahahahaha
"Imagine there was a war and nobody shows up." What a beautiful image!
My condolences!! We are losing so much these days ...
My friend Lena escaped to Portugal .. now she is forced to go back ....
Sometimes i think: what will it take for human kind to wake up?
Thank you for writing!!
Love and light!

Heartbreaking.
Also glad to know people like you and Damian exist in this broken world.

Barbara, thank you for checking in. I too wish I had known Zomi. What a force. That’s the thing about this work; it attracts extraordinary humans.
