Shundo David Haye – Zen Priest

‘We may think that progress needs to look a certain way, but perhaps the way forward is through the dark. We may think an enlightened, compassionate, and just society must check certain boxes. But perhaps there’s still suffering we need to understand deeply before that collective awakening can fully ripen. There can be hollow victories that exclude too many people, as well as powerful losses that can lead to wider, more inclusive movements. Perhaps what we love and cherish is still there, still growing and ripening in its own time. Are we sure that all is lost?’ (from Lion’s Roar)
