We all have a role
I’ve never been more certain that we are the ones we’ve been waiting for, and more people than we realized are up for the task.
In 2017, I sent a newsletter with the following:
I feel afraid. I am also grateful because I am surrounded by people who fight as hard as they love. They show up for people they love and those they don't know. They care for people for the sake of caring, for humanity. When I say I want to do something, they respond with Okay, what do you want to do? How can I/we support you? We are not in this alone. As long as we share this space, we should not feel we have to fight alone.
Lately I've been thinking about my role. Am I a healer? Am I a writer? Am I an organizer? Am I an organizer with the ability to heal and write well? These are guiding questions for figuring out my future and how and where I can show up best.
I don't feel defeat. Overwhelmed, maybe. Scared, most of the time. Inspired, yes. Motivated, yes, without a doubt. This is the time.
Where and how can we show up for each other?
