noah himsa
and noah? he hammered grace into gopher wood. one animal at a time. one breath at a time.
Two words that shouldn't fit. One built a lifeboat. One means "to harm."
the rain didn't ask permission. forty days of violence against the ground. noah himsa
But what about the himsa —the harm, the violence—that made the flood necessary in the first place?
is that tension: 🌀 The violence of starting over. 🌀 The harm of the flood vs. the grace of the ark. 🌀 The reality that sometimes, to protect peace (ahimsa), you must first endure the storm. and noah
save what you can. let the rest wash clean. 🌊
Noah couldn't save everyone. He could only preserve a seed. to protect peace (ahimsa)
