"Let it be" could mean at least two different things. One is to let it be or accept it as it is, or just be. Be in the moment. Be in the now. Accept things and yourself as they are etc. etc. etc.
And there’s another meaning. Let it be as a plea. Let there be true justice, liberty, and life for all. Let there be an end to this regime. Let there be a reconciling within our land. Let there be a healing of division, a recompense for past atrocities. Let there be a resurrection. Let there be a better country where decency and civility and cooperation and fairness are the rule rather than the exception. Let there be an end to tribalism, to white supremacy, economic injustice, and disparities.
That kind of "let it be." A plea, a prayer, a wish, a beseeching, an intention.
Let there be a quiet revolution by the unseen and unpolled majority. Let them rise up and vote for a man who is not a superstar, who is not a smooth-talking performer, rather someone who is true in his character, flawed in his humanity, admirable in his integrity and capable of putting together a team to run our country for the good of all citizens, not just the rich and powerful, not just for those who have the same beliefs or skin color or background. But for the good of everyone.
Let there be an end to the unfairness and power-insatiable drive devoid of humanity or even common decency rampant in our society. A return to responsible journalism intended to inform rather than incite the audience. Let there continue to be those who seek the truth and report it with integrity.
Let there be a concerted effort to heal our planet, and treat our home with dignity and care.
Let there be a resurrection of cooperation and collaboration. Let us be respected in our differences and encouraged to find a third way. Let our hearts be broken open and our minds unlocked to opportunity, and creative possibility to solve the problems we all face. "Let this be the answer.
Let It Be." kas
