The need to hate each other
Like husbands and wives, even sometimes siblings, we need to not like each other very much, to hate each other, in order to get to owning our love of one another.

Grief, conflict, antagonism brewing
There is something brewing in me around these notions of grief, conflict, and antagonism, something that says these are part of life and need to be taken into the embrace. We cannot have conversation wholly agreeable, but it can be wholly loving, even when we are hating and fighting. We can find a way to include us all, and all our aspects. Otherwise we war and risk losing one another.
Perhaps I am trying to make these make sense, when they are more aptly sensed.
We may need to live through the storms and the pain to get to the other side. We do not need to war. We need to hear others, to give expression, and to hear ourselves.

What we lack in a cared-for world:
What we lack in a cared-for world is creativity: our need to give, to be needed or at least of worth, to love.
