did it just never occur to me, am i selfish, uneducated or am i so insulated by the geography that i call home that i have never marched, stood, fought for, protested, demonstrated or shouted for something that i truly, madly, deeply believe in?
laura's pictures scream. her posts reiterate the importance. she is convicted to her soul. she has traveled there. she knows the issues and the fight. she understands the people. she is the people.
i live in a happy place but is that fair? is it a good use of my voice? or my passion, conviction and ability? why have i never taken up a cause? does a cause come to you or is it ours to seek out? i am not sure how i missed out on this. i am 44 years old and i do not believe i have stood firm for the freedom, safety or life of another.
i admire her conviction. i admire her. in honor of all she stands for and will stand for i open my heart to opportunity. thank you laura.

Action is the one
ReplyDeleteAnd only currency of
A courageous heart.
it's measured in various ways.
ReplyDeletededication to others.
dedication to groups.
dedication to service.
selfless dedication to all.
i'd say you stand for quite a lot actually.
Acting with integrity, generosity, kindness, respect and good humor toward the world around me is a full-time job and it's a big part of what I like about you Staci. I keep trying to get better at it but I'll leave the marching, protesting and demonstrating to others.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we have them with us but the world doesn't need any more of them; it needs more like you.
Staci,
ReplyDeleteMay I offer and answer to this question?
