What creeps slowly in upon us often does not scare us until it is too late.
Habits of acquiescence are terrifying to break.
The contrast between apathetic daily life, and awareness through fear is terrifying.
It requires a lot of work to get rid of what we do not want when that happens.
When something with great contrast appears, we can see right away that we do not want it and we can take strong steps immediately.
That is the situation in which we find ourselves today.
Many uncomfortable actions have now become obvious, and we are now aware of them because of their great contrast to the kind of society we wish to live in.
The new collective steps we are taking quickly are having an immediate influence.
As we become more aware of all the steps which are being taken to destabilize and control society from without, we have more and more power to recreate the society we desire from within.
It is wonderful to discover what we all have in common.
It is delightful to experience a unifying experience despite all the ugliness.
I am so grateful for the encouragement of the courageous individuals and groups and political leaders who are standing up for the deep values in our communities.
