I, being but a fool, regularly strive to earn precisely half a shilling.
Anything more, but especially less, and we enter the commitment to trouble.
Trouble nods in your direction regardless
Ted:
My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
Elaine:
When will you be back?
Ted:
I can't tell you that. It's classified.
Computer, find me a community of people who literally become books, and represent this with a book cover that goes hard
Computer: “have you heard the temperature at which books burn?”
There is this dystopian dread when you ask, “where can I go to not be seen?” But it’s going to be okay.
When being unseen is not possible, a new hope lies not in invisibility but in COMMUNITY -
being truly seen by those who will preserve and protect you, stand with you against the systems trying to track and control. Not hiding in plain sight, but thriving in plain sight through collective care and resistance.
Reject the isolation of trying not to be seen, embrace finding your scene
Dr. King’s Enduring Wisdom
To grow wise (sight) by lived experience,
to see that fairness is our only path forward,
and denial leads to shared downfall (restraint).
It takes courage (embrace) to face our deep interdependence,
to step beyond the comfort of separation.
Living together demands equal dignity for all (honor),
choosing connection over conflict.
When we see our shared humanity,
we extend compassion even to those who reject unity,
and in this wisdom we find our shared salvation.
