After the drama, missed sleep and endless news of Tuesday night, it’s time to share a few thoughts. The first line pretty much sums it up.
You are awakening to the same country you fell asleep to. The very same country.
Pull yourself together, people. 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. We must continue to do the good work of Christ.
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, educate and raise them well.
Continue to be a vessel of nourishing joy.
Continue right where you are. Right where you live into your days.
Do so in the name of The Creator who expects nothing less than that from each of us. And if you are not “continuing” in ALL of the above, in community, partnership, collaboration?
