Diary 137

Sunday, August 2nd

I read in the news about resistance to the “president’, and I note that this is healthy, sane, and reasonable. Portland, for example, is setting the pace on that, peacefully.

Yet it’s also worth saying that focusing on the problem is not the same as focusing on the solution. Let us choose to focus on the world we want; a planet that is not polluting itself to extinction; a place where all people are equal, a place where we can each feel that a future is possible. If we focus on that future the ridiculous person who calls himself the ‘president’ becomes irrelevant.  We cannot change the dark by telling each other how dark it is. We can only change the dark by bringing light.
