Protection

For those asking what protection is for when Life, not fear, becomes the measure.

The Place To Stand

Protection is not possession.
It is responsibility to Life.
Protection is not control.
It is care for the conditions that allow Life to breathe.
Protection is not fear.
It is stewardship.
It is listening earlier.
Seeing earlier.
Acting earlier.
It is not waiting until Life is broken before asking what should have been held.

What I Stand For

I stand for the protection of Life.
The body.
The child.
The home.
The river.
The land.
The relationship.
The community.
The conditions through which Life continues.
