Thinking Ahead of Unrest
I write to explain my self to my self. The pen is a diviner in search of truth, the poet a scribe, honest and unfaltering, even where words prove difficult or damaging. If each of us creates our own reality, and so much of our reality is different, how do we reach a common good that works for everyone? If I think violence is an acceptable alternative to reason, a church full of piety won’t re-direct my hatred.
A change of mind is a change of heart is a change of behavior. If power promotes violence, we the people must protest peacefully, in our heart of hearts, where we know goodness benefits everyone, and unity’s a goal worthy of defending, and peace is a possibility, perhaps for our children’s children. To give up, to give over, is to give in. Never Give Up.
