May we counterpoint

ignorance, arrogance, hurt

with wise skilled restraint.

...

Commit to truth, care,

goodness, not neutrality.

Like Ona(e), village?

Hi Judith,

Small things matter a great deal as even the small things each of us chooses to do can end up making a difference. Doing big things isn't everyone's role, nor should it be.

Thank you for writing.

Thank you for reading, Nancy. Thank you for writing: "Maybe our collective anger is what will save us."

THIS: "My one small thing is to write this Substack and amplify the power of a village or community. We are not alone. We can be there for each other. We can wake up and pay attention."

One small thing, each day. Write it. Speak it. Let it break your heart . . . open. We are stronger together. Stronger to hold each other up; to express caring, welcome in the stranger, the neighbor, the community member.

Thank you, Judith for this thoughtful piece. Your "one small thing" touches more that you may realize. We are here for each other. I stand with you. ~stephanie XO
