It’s a loved one
Love is a winding road, it’s older than old, and it’s hard to straighten.
We are living for something that will be here when we are old.
If a Threat isn’t a Threat, it is not a Threat. If a bee is trapped in your pants, it is a different type of threat than when it is going from clover to clover. Situational threats are also life to the earth.
If we treat everything that could be a threat with the same destructive attention, there will be nothing left to enjoy. Such intents bring eternal war.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. If in big and small, peace follows you, you are family of the divine.
Love always brings with it a peace that is secured by wielded power and authority. Goodness should always run toward power. Gone are the days where power is considered evil; it is and does the most good. Everyone who is good, should pursue it. It is a great fool that throws power to the wind to land the hands of evil men. Peace without power is pre-destined destruction.
The mission toward peace is most specifically not a call to align with threats to goodness. It is not a mission toward a managed decline of virtue. It isn’t absent the terrible wrath of good men. It is a call to wisdom, it is a call to the nobility that prefers mercy over judgment, restoration over revenge. It is for this mission we Make Ready.
If it’s not a threat it’s a loved one.
There is a group of lost boys on TikTok who run around interrupting liberty-loving people in debates, trying to make them look evil. Forgive them; they don’t even know what they are doing. Maybe they were a threat leading up to the 2024 election. Many people who shamed their whitewashed reasoning did a service to our shared trajectory. But I can confidently tell them they are no longer a threat. We no longer need grown men standing over their frail frames after brutally dunking on them. We need people with the heart of fathers to restore them. They are our brothers. Our best future must have them.
Be for them. Want what is best for them. Love them. Love will give them everything they need and deserve. Love also always brings the revenge our best future must have. Love accomplishes what seems impossible, it brings the beauty of restoration that comes when an enemy is rendered friend.
Though as for that the passing there,
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black.…
The Greatest honor of my life has been knowing Kingly men and Queenly women who hold the tension of royalty, who defend with the fury of the Winged Hausars, and care in the deepest of human ways for which there have never been words.
