Again...
we are tossed into the frenzy of post-terror lament
we are awe-struck at the level of evil displayed
we are numb
yet we are alive
And many...some... maybe a few of us are still praying...
praying for the victims
praying for their families
praying for the city, the nation, the world
praying that things will change (and they won't)
Things won't change unless we change
And we won't change until we can embody the change we wish to see
Hunting humans has become a nationally-supported pastime
Silence in the face of injustice
We might as well have been holding back the trigger on the automatic assault weapon ourselves
When will we admit that the blood being washed away with our tears is blood on our hands?
When will we acknowledge that terror reigns supreme in the minds of angry white men?
When will we recognize that the God we are praying to is waiting for us to act?
The God I worship holds no marionette strings, no hand-up-my-back
I am free to (and must now more than ever) move about and speak out
This IS the day to talk about gun policy!
(I've contacted all of my elected officials to let them know)
This IS preventable!
That is, only if we want to prevent it... we have to want to prevent it.
As terror reigns once again... prayer is never enough.
Don't stop praying! Just know that is not enough.
Be the change!
Act now!
