No Going Back

The terrible death of George Floyd is a wake up call, a reminder to all of us as to how people are treated differently because of skin colour. Just as the horrific images from the Vietnam war helped bring about an end to that conflict we hope that this incident, captured on video, will bring an end to discrimination of all kinds. All lives matter of course but in these days and being reminded of the awful mistreatment of people of colour we must take up the urgent call "Black Lives Matter"

There are too many moments like this that we carry with us as we age, knowing that they are not just screen images but real memories of real people. How to find enough strength, enough compassion to make a difference? We can only try. Thank you

I also remember those images and more... Hopefully humans will evolve.

I wish I didn’t still know people here in the States who still believe Black people cant be trusted, and lazy criminals who are trying to take over jobs and the country from whites. Some people don’t seem to be able to perceive the humanity of people who don’t look like themselves. Thanks for the true and hopeful thoughts, Tony.

Beautifully said!
We must learn to to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

Such kind words during such a profound time in our lives. Thank you

The video of George Floyd’s murder is indelible; so painful to watch. Millions worldwide agree & march in protest despite a pandemic and the personal hardships it has caused. His martyrdom is the tipping point and has brought forth our better angels. Let us pray for peace, love and equality for everyone, everywhere. Thanks Tony 🙏🏻

Thank you Tony. 🙏

As a PoC I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Namaste 🙏🏽🦋

Thank you. May we come to live in a world where we can all breathe free.

I was 16 years old in 1972 and will never forget those images from Vietnam that you referred to. In fact, the images came clearly to mind when you mentioned them.

The comparison to George Floyd’s death seems so apt. I hope that his death will indeed be the turning point.

Namaste...

So beautifully said, there is no going back. We are one, just different with all the beautiful rainbow colors. #Namasta

Thank you, Tony🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻MAY IT BE...

Those two images will be forever burned into my brain as well Tony. I saw the stills of George Floyd, but I’m not going watch the video. I don’t need that burned into my brain when I’m already dealing with enough anguish from the collective consciousness as it is. This is a wonderful meditation, and so very very true. From your lips to Gods ears, I hope these words come true, and that this is the end of all of this terrible discrimination, pain and suffering for so many people regardless of color. Thank you so much Namaste.
🙏🏾🕊🙏🏼

Thank you,Tom. Amen.
