Words that Are Getting Me Through
- They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.
- And standing in my yard, soil under my fingers, unseasonably warm breeze on my skin, sun beaming warm light through the mulberry tree, I felt, suddenly, other emotions enter the chat: responsibility, tenderness, love, capability.
- It is true that people have lived through worse times, but they had to pass through something like this to get there. We have to look out for each other.
- This election was never going to save us, and so I have to believe that it was never going to doom us either.
- The US election didn’t go the way you hoped it would? Here’s what you control…and what you don’t.
- There are as many ways of helping and making change as there are people.
- It was an act of complete despair; a necessary one. It was December, and freezing cold, and we didn’t care. People stopped on the shore to stare at us, three women bobbing around like corks on the angry sea. My god, the impotent rage; the disbelief. We thought we might just be sunk.
- I want it to be that I tried, cried, fought and rejoiced with my communities. And the only way to do that is to make sure I seek out joy as much as possible.
