As most of you know, I'm not one for writing "a piece" in response to
every act of terror that we witness throughout our world. I tend to be
moved instead to specific action and to increase my work in dispelling
lies of superiority and of inferiority - of separation. I tend to focus
my energy in efforts to assist in strengthening the justice warriors.
In general, it is not so much my way to pontificate. But, every once and a while I must join in writing my utter outrage and my deepest sorrow. I am so sorry to be living in a world where this man walked into a room and shot people down out of a delusional belief that he and his deserve life more than those he killed. My lungs constrict, unable to perform their function as I watch the one sitting in the seat assumed to be the highest in the land express his sympathy with a wink - a wink that we can all see, whether or not we are a part of his intended posse. My heart explodes with pain to know that Muslim brothers, sisters, trans folks and children are targeted again and again - and mostly by folks who call themselves Christian.
I can only say that I join you with my tears, my work to dismantle the surging white supremacy and with my powerful vision of living beloved community.
