"Look closely at the present you are constructing.
It should look like the future you are dreaming of."
Alice Walker
Where are we spending our time?
What are we watching, listening to, scrolling through?
We have choices.
If, like me, you are feeling weary and overwhelmed, I invite you to:
Edit.
Adjust.
Rethink.
Reevaluate.
Shift priorities.
I offer two beautiful listens:
-Vincent Hardy, "Is America Possible?", via On Being. Original air date, February 24, 2011.
-"A Freedom Singer Shares Music of The Movement", via NPR, here. Original air date February 11, 2010.
And a treasure trove of hope:
The Veterans of Hope Project, founded in 1997 by Vincent and Rosemarie Freeney Harding.
"We are a community-based educational initiative on religion, culture and participatory democracy. We encourage a healing-centered approach to community-building that recognizes the interconnectedness of spirit, creativity and citizenship. Our materials and programs are designed to support reconciliation, nonviolent social justice organizing and an appreciation for the value of indigenous and folk wisdom for contemporary times."
Do what you can.
Rest.
Hydrate.
Know that I am with you in spirit.
