I don't know where I am going with this. But there is something about this post that feels incredibly inspiring. Despite all the chaos and intense feelings going on right now, this team of people including all in attendance, keep pressing forward, prioritizing, organizing, however imperfectly, however messy. Democracy in action even as democracy herself is on edge. Love in action, even as love and respect is seemingly under threat as well. It takes a lot of perseverance, not overnight quick fixes and you are there for it. Maybe inspiring others (me?) to get more involved as well. :-) Thank you.
Thank you so much, Deborah. It is a haul, yes, and showing up seems to be the action right now. It is also a marathon and not a sprint, so I know I can put down my baton when I need a rest and someone else will run with it then until I am ready to get back in.
