I have been struggling with what to do living so far away from larger cities protesting, and seeing this abuse of power and disregard for human life in person.
What I can do is write and speak as a reminder of our inherent value and worth, our right to a trial, and free speech, and that in order to rebuild this broken system we cannot become like those in it, the path to justice, freedom, inclusion, equality and diversity is wide and full of creative disruptors whose wile and craftiness will dismantle the old ways while maintaining a joyful, empathetic heart. When only the head leads, it seems to go to the same place again and again no matter what body it’s on. The path forward is with an expansive heart that holds space for all people and this world. We are intrinsically linked, there is no other home upon which we can hope for, the hope is we can find ways to repair the one on which we became, the one on which we depend, the one we have to take back from those unable to imagine a future with the collective good at its heart.
Do what you can do, kindness is magic, and it’s a good place to start.
