This means what we create will matter more. Whose voices we include will matter more. The connections we make with other creators and writers will matter more. We have to be the net that shows the People what life is now. We will have to listen more closely, more deeply, and maybe ask more questions--because it will matter more that we understand what it is we are creating. We may be now, or become, their hope.
This! And that last paragraph! Thank you for expressing my heart! Texting with dear friends today of similar mind, consoling and supporting each other. While I truly can’t wrap my head/heart around this, I do trust that we’ll help each other through this ……and drink a lot of coffee and also some wine, roll up our sleeves, and continue to advocate for truth and decency.
Today, my 12-year-old daughter entered my classroom feeling overwhelmed. When I asked her what was wrong, she shared her fears about being judged for her opinions on the elections. I encouraged her to remain calm and choose kindness, no matter how challenging the day may seem. In these uncertain times, while darkness may loom, we must stand strong, remain true to ourselves, and always extend kindness to one another. Thank you for your inspiring writing today; it helped me find the words I needed.
