“Let’s love each other,
Beauty in the brokenness. It shouldn’t be broken; it doesn’t make it right. It wasn’t “God’s plan” and it will be misunderstood by almost everyone. But along with all those things, there are also new edges to catch the light and, eventually, cut the darkness. There are new openings hospitable to those who were just out of reach before. There are ways this will become your strength. Don’t run too far. Don’t shift to easier tropes. The crying, the bleeding, the godawful truth of what’s happening inside of you, is the exit route. The compulsions that pull you from the deep, from the listening, don’t make up and don’t add up. The exit resolves not in escape but in integration. The breaking becomes a part of the whole, and that is the beautiful brutal secret.
Being a vessel of justice and love does not take on the behaviors of toxic masculinity. So often I’ve witnessed and at times participated in well-motivated but misshapen assertiveness that finds its roots in the worst of leadership and the very patriarchal power plays we’ve identified in others and supposedly war against. It’s especially painful as an Asian American woman to see other women of color undercut and malign people, often each other, in ways they learned as a target in their effort to be bold and brave. We are better than the leadership of past egos. We are braver than the playbook of capitalism and competition. We are truer than false choices and cutoff. We are richer than individual recognition and single story achievement. Justice and love expand the choices, the strategy, the conversation and the compassion; they break out of the toxicity and trapping lines.
