Enough

Sometimes, I think about how there is enough — that with collective resolve, and with each person and each community doing what they do best in an organized way, there is enough for people to be free, have what they need, belong, and live and love well.

Sometimes, it takes tremendous risks. Sometimes, it takes nurture and care. Sometimes, it takes vision. Sometimes, it takes following marginalized people. Sometimes, it takes dismantling the margins.

I’m not naive. Things are tough. I woke up this morning, feeling sick for our country as many people fear the loss of a multitude of rights. I just know there are many people out there doing what they can uniquely do — sometimes, the things that only they or their community are in a position to do.

And it makes me wonder, what can we uniquely do?
