We Cannot Wait for the Storm to Find Compassion

Like most of us, I have been so deeply focused on the storms in Houston, on the devastation, the loss and the hardship.

For me, there is another side.

I find that these events bring things into focus. For those of us on the outside, there is time for contemplation and extraordinary growth.

We are watching people lose ALL of their worldly goods and in the midst of that, much like I experienced during and after 9/11, we observe Oneness.

When all “things” are lost, we come together in compassion.

We must contribute our full selves for the benefit of others.

It is not only in the end, but everyday that, LOVE is truly all there is, the only reason we are here and the only thing to live for.

May we push ourselves, right now, today, to be the change we need in this country and around the world.

We cannot wait for the storm to find compassion.

We cannot wait for our child to be sexually abused before we become an advocate.

We cannot wait for our brother to get shot in the head to become an activist.

We cannot wait to lose everything we have to become humane.

The time to do, to become, to share, to contribute is right now.

Stop Stuff™ isn’t about hats. The hats are symbolic.

We are a champion for change.

Stop Stuff™ is a movement motivated by my strong belief and knowing that we can change the world through collective action.

We have so much going on, life changing, world changing stuff.

We need and want your help and your contribution.

What tomorrow brings, God willing, depends on what we do today.

If you’re ready, and only if you're really, really ready, call me.
