A Sad and Scary Day
I have been trying hard to not let this horrible thing that will happen
today January 20th consume me. It's hard knowing that the people soon
to be in control care very little about the majority of the citizens.
It really is about power and money on a foundation of greed. Many of us are targets- women, people that are not white male and and
the target group I am in- The LGBT community. One of the most troubling
things were reading that Trumps pick for supreme court justice thinks
gays should be jailed. Then reading that he intends to get rid of the
National endowment for the arts. Most all of you reading this know the
importance of art- for self expression for healing art is another
language. I taught art for 36 years from elementary through university
age. I have seen first hand how art has literally saved lives. As I
felt my heart start to race I stopped what I was doing and went to my
journal. Please join me in putting loving intentions out into the
universe. This will help us to move through this scary time.
Sending love to you all.
Thank you for posting today...I need to know there are other like-minded folk in 'my neighborhood'. I'm sitting in grief today.
ReplyDeleteThere are many of us. Love is win.
DeleteKeep the faith, Terry, we LGBT folks are survivors, and we will get through this. As Meryl Streep said in her recent speech, quoting Carrie Fisher, "take your broken heart, make it into art"
