November 2024 & Hard Work is Good Work

I saw this somewhere. I thought it was pretty good so I’m sharing it.

You are awakening to the same country you fell asleep to.

The very same country.

Pull yourself together.

And, when you see me, do not ask me

"What do we do now?

How do we get through the next four years?"

Some of my Ancestors dealt with at least 400 years of this under worse conditions.

Continue to do the good work.

Continue to build bridges not walls.

Continue to lead with compassion.

Continue the demanding work of liberation for all.

Continue to dismantle broken systems, large and small.

Continue to set the best example for the children.

Continue to be a vessel of nourishing joy.

Continue right where you are.

Right where you live into your days.

And if you are not "continuing" ALL of the above in community, partnership, and collaboration?

What is it you have been doing?

What is it you are waiting for?
