I am so grateful to the poets and writers
who can articulate the whirlpool of emotions
spinning through my body and soul;
not only when I'm upbeat, confident and optimistic,
but also, maybe especially when, I'm heartbroken,
disbelieving, enraged and dismayed.
I hear the trope, "all words and no action"
and I feel a rush of shame until I realize,
words matter. Thoughts matter.
We cannot give in to what is unworthy of us.
My steadfast appreciation goes to those
who continue to use their words
and those who use their actions
to protect, defend, heal, and restore what is broken.
Namaste'
