Every Friday we unite for five minutes. Only five minutes, that's all we get, that's all we have. And then, right where we are, no edits or second-thoughts, we publish those words. This week, we write on endure.
Go.
2020 has been one big roller coaster ride and the words "it can't get worse" are no longer on my lips. What we have endured has been unreal to me. What communities have endured for centuries is inhuman, ungodly, and immoral. What else, what now, what do we do now?
We have isolated.
The environment has healed.
We have lost jobs.
We have closed down.
Businesses have been lost.
People, we have lost people.
We have watched a civil rights movement finally unfold.
We have listened.
We have slowed down.
We have rested.
We have worried.
We have lost sleep.
We have been with our children.
We have forced them to be bored.
We have read.
We have cried.
We have moved our bodies.
We have not moved at all.
We have lived a life we should hold on to a little bit.
We have done the unthinkable.
We have lost and gained.
We have stood and knelt.
We have been separated but connected.
We have been divided but there are more of us that want to come together.
We have endured. Some have had to endure more. Some have had to endure for too long and we no longer want you to carry the weight alone.
So, what else...what now?
Stop.
