7/15/19 RMB Ankle Deep
Dear Rita Mae Brown,
It is a sunny Monday morning, a brand-new
week. Seven days stretch out before us. What will fill the 168 hours, indeed
10,080 minutes, that we are already ankle deep into?
San Diego has wrapped up our Pride
Weekend and embarks on our upcoming Comic Con weekend. July is full of
celebrations, starting with the 4th of July.
It is a good time to be alive and a this
is a good country to call home. This year marks 50 years since Stonewall and
also the 50th anniversary of Comic Con. I remember going to the Con
as a teen and thinking that it was a wonderful environment of open minds, exploring
and sharing ideas.
Yet, the phrase that comes to mind
this morning is “And miles to go before I sleep” from the old Robert Frost poem
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. We have come far, but there is much work
to do.
From border conflicts, to political hijinks,
we have a lot to overcome, to rise above, to learn from and then move forward towards a smarter, kinder, better representation of humanity.
Each dawn begins anew our march into
our future, with the moments we are in ankle deep, the direction we move in and
the stance we take are the telling of who we are and who we will be.
Onward we go,
Loraine
beautiful
