Ach-pri latzadik, ach yaysh-Elohim shoftim ba’aretz
There is, surely, the fruit of the righteous;
yes, there is indeed divine justice on earth. (Psalm 58:12)

Even when it seems like the bullies are in charge; even when we feel such outrage and resentment towards those who are oppressing the vulnerable and inciting hatred… still we must remember the great force of love that is within us.
With this practice, we affirm the power of goodness, knowing that justice will prevail. Each thought, word or deed of kindness that we can bring to this moment will bear fruit. And that fruit will nourish and delight the world.
