Being encouraged during a cultural crisis

Lawlessness, brutality, lack of accountability mixed in with political ineptitude makes me wanna holler as Marvin Gaye soulfully sang. At the same time, I know to not grow weary, press on and remain full in my humanity. All emotions relevant, especially in these times. Shout. Cry. Breathe deep. Pray. Look up. Remain hopeful. Rejoice. This is a first in my lifetime to witness so much diversity in race, class, and gender to converge on the streets across this land. Stirring. Oftentimes, the youth of present day lead the marches, rallies. Our children, teens and young adults empowered to move exemplifies courage, resilience and hope. Older generations stand in solidarity, speak words of wisdom, even join those same assemblies. I am reminded that real change requires all of us – tireless energy & new perspective along with wisdom & vast experience. For this, I am encouraged.
