peace offering
What a week we’ve survived. Between falling back into darkness with little hope for our bodies to adjust and a tumultuous election day, ignoring the anxiety people have feels callous on my part. Wednesday morning I awoke to a beautiful, quiet blanket of white powder as if the Universe sent me a personal message that peace can exist amongst turmoil. Inner rage, heartbreak, and bile at the back of my throat. It’s a message worthy of action. The luck, fortune, rights, and opportunity to keep and protect for all Americans.
Last time, I tried to flee. I’m not kidding. I was accepted into a doctoral program in New Zealand. Ultimately, building a home won out as I realized the necessity for staying to make what changes I could through my own actions in the community I live in. And hoping for it to be enough. Now, I’m ready to build a Libertarian Party. To find and support a moral, ethical human who truly has our best interest at the forefront of their actions and decisions. To disavow all of the current parties, people, politicians, (“business men” side eye) etc.
Let’s find a way to stay, to join together, to fight for candidates worthy of holding a position of power and hold them accountable. Let’s create a better place for our future generations where no one feels disadvantaged or unwelcome. Let’s create change that resonates with our core beliefs. May our anger fuel us. Let it produce hope to settle around us like snow drifting peace across our landscapes. May the sailors’ warnin’ kinda mornin’s sunrises give us energy to face our days/challenges and share the kindness and actions we need. May your fear melt as the snow does under the glare of the sun. May you rise up to its warmth to offer your talents where they are needed. May you feel supported and loved and destined to be a crucial part of our collective. For we are all interwoven and there is no escaping the brunt of decisions made by those around us. We are in concert together. What is your instrument? So let us rise to our power.
Together—Let’s. Do. This.
