The next few days are going to be so hard. We're going to keep seeing 100,000, and it's going to keep rolling over us & slamming into us & breaking our hearts. Step away if you need to, watch the clouds, talk to someone you love. And then please come back, eyes clear, & brave. https://twitter.com/emilylhauser/status/1253879866522509318
That number is unfathomable, & we're going to blow past it on Monday. Please have the courage to keep your gaze panoramic, your imagination sociological, your heart & mind holding on to many true things at once. That's how we start to build whatever comes next. Eyes clear.
Someone called this "self-actualization dreck" & idek what to say. I'm asking folks to be brave enough to see the whole, terrifying picture; to see the network that ties every part & person in that picture to each other & to us, to acknowledge clashing truths, & to act from that.
We're at our most "self-actualized" when we see ourselves in Dr. King's network of mutuality, when we know that we're bound up in each other. I also think that's the only hope we have of successfully constructing the moral universe we'll need to rebuild whatever's left of America
