Don't Despair
There's Something Much Bigger… Grander, More Subtle, More Elegant… Even Greater Than We Dreamed… (Yes, I do believe this)
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
JRR Tolkien, Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings
My Dearhearts:
And now—right now—is the time to decide what to do with the time that is given us. Liberation does not despair. It rises.
So grieve and rest today. Tomorrow, we the Beloved Community, will rise and begin.
Much Peace,
Marcie
Thank you Marcie. I am heartbroken and sick.
Thank you for the care you give all of us, dear one. You have built this community to hold fast and grieve together. Please care for yourself today, too, and know we are a blanket of comfort, even from afar, for each other.
