The Richie RichJan 28, 2023
When I was younger, I drove fast, perhaps even recklessly and never did I think that it might be the day my life could be taken. These days I drive the speed limit, I watch my mannerisms. I’m more afraid of police than I am road rage. When I travel for work, I try to get the most nondescript rental, I obey traffic laws. I don’t call attention to myself. So many of us do all that and still don’t make it home. Is anyone listening? How loudly do we have to cry to be heard? I’m so, so tired. ..3

I hear
I don't know what to do
I rail, get angry,

Does no good

Would Kamalla Harris experience as a prosecutor afford any better insights and approach, do you think? I hate her "shoulds" and " musts" but maybe if she had the top job she might "do." Someone needs to address the anger, rage, and violence in everybody and I believe it would help if there were more women in leadership positions.

@kitsystratton Maybe, I don’t know.

Try to hang in there. All people below the top tier (white men) are getting really fed up with the inequity in money, human rights and dignity, health and medical treatment, safety, basic needs. Shit is going to hit the fan soon -- next several months I think and there will be major shifts in power. Then we'll pool our expertise and resources and change some things. And it will not be toward hate and exclusivity. Let's think about what we would like to see different and be prepared to speak up.

@kitsystratton thanks. We are all in the struggle in this thing called life. Some burdens are heavier than others but we are all humans. I might think I am cuter than someone else but not better or less valuable. I have a Master’s degree and I job I like most days. I’m fortunate to have a daughter who worships me and I am not wanting for anything - except the peace of mind of knowing that my life is of value to more than my family, friends and me. And I worry about my friends too.
