Journal Entry

 

January 21st, 2021

 

Quote: “Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.” – Dalai Lama

 

Affirmation: There is strength in surrender- surrendering to that which is beyond my control. Thank you, Adriene Mishler.

 

Realization: It is never too late to start asking questions. The following is a shout out to National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman long may she be brave with her words of wisdom.

 

What’s all this talk about white people and brown people and black people?

 Talk, talk, talk all this about Cis and Transgender and Gay people? Lesbian and feminist people? 

What’s all this they have in common?

 

People.

 

Horton heard the Who correctly; A person’s a person…” (Shout out to Dr. Seuss)

 

What a person thinks, what a person does

Within the boundaries of law we are made up of

For the sake of freedom, in the name of love

We must not harm, must do no harm

And rise above the baser instinct of fear

 

We are here
