On this day and EVERY day, I seek to amplify the voice of Love, Unity and Justice, because the voice of hate, division and discrimination has been too loud, for too long. Especially now as we are in the struggle against having a wannabe dictator take over the country and do away with our democracy and constitution. Our voting rights, for which Dr. King and so many others fought for so fervently, are under threat of being diminished and stripped away. The stakes could not be higher. We find ourselves in a place where truth, compassion, decency and honor seem to be in short supply, and people who have no shame or regard for truth are willing to do whatever it takes to take control and hold power and dominance over our society. They simply don't care how it looks, or what lengths they have to go to, as long they get the power they are seeking. It's going to take great effort and force of will to resist this tide of evil, and those who came before us are watching and hoping that we won't let everything they struggled for, and some died for, just slip away. I just want to remind everyone that however things turn out; we, as a race of humans are going to have reach down deep inside to try and find the will and determination to NOT sink to the level of the worst of our nature, but WORK to raise our collective consciousness and do the things that will allow us to survive and create a better life and a brighter future.
This is a dream I know I share with many, so I'm using my voice the best way I know how - to shine some Light in this darkness.
The time is RIGHT NOW!!!
