JANU: Embers are the residue of human conflict, struggles for survival between factions, isolation. “America First” another name for isolation. The world economy and international justice and cooperation do not work in isolation. “Together we are strong” is not just for inspiring the individual but humanity at large because, in reality, humanity is codependent, not only on each other but the Earth as well and all of its creatures. Burying one’s head in the sand leaves one vulnerable, ignorant, and weak.
Being free has its responsibilities. Freedom has limited meaning unless everyone is free. So, let us cast a blessing for humanity, a blessing of freedom. Namaste.
