champion

Stand undefeated.

My feet become the sun when everything else is night. I believe as a human, we are called to stand with those who are oppressed. We were created to be humans for humans. We were created to acknowledge love and speak it out. To look at pain, heartache, degradation, and scream at it.

Standing up for another’s life is not exceptional. It is human decency.

My heart pours everything out it doesn’t need. It pours it out so it can be free, seen, heard. Because when it’s full of junk, no one wants to look. I know nothing more grounding than love. Love revealed through true pain and loss. When everything else drowns, love soars. Courage is not without fear. It is built on passion for something that demands revival. It does not come without pain. Refuse to let it stand without reward. Refuse un-defeat. Apathy towards human life will not thrive. It will not be given power. Those who fight for love, value, and restoration hold all the authority. The demeanors, the de-valuers, the shamers, we see you and we do not accept you in our lives. Drive the darkness away.

And the bravest and deepest of all valleys lead to the greatest river, traveling forever upwards, propelled by empty graves and people made of stars.

Champions of my home, my loves, you are seen. Let it burn.
