{I am that I am} or I will be what I will be.. (which I like better, but it is less understandable on the surface...). [Popeye comes to mind! LOL]

We are all that we are, 'h' the Planck Constant, the 'quantum of action' is. Action. Inaction. Love. The djt admin is void of love. They seem to think it 'quaint'...

We cannot hate in return. We see our potential. WE are not separate. As repulsive as that feels, they are us, we are them. And maybe, the extremes manifest the fracture. Which doesn't seem natural. It seems perverse and destructive. Why can't we stop? It is about the individual. The choices. The action. Love is a verb. :-)

[problem is, we suck at it.]

side note: "I and Thou," one of the great books I picked up from the UWSP student bookstore so long ago. Foundational.

One went to the door of the Beloved and knocked.

A voice asked: “Who is there?” He answered: “It is I.”

The voice said: “There is no room here for me and thee.”

The door was shut.

After a year of solitude and deprivation

this man returned to the door of the Beloved.

He knocked.

A voice from within asked: “Who is there?”

The man said: “It is Thou.”

The door was opened for him.
