And yes, the younger generation shows a certain level of awareness and fierce determination which may just be enough to carry us through these dark times, with our support and collaborative efforts.
Their optimism and creativity is a force to be reckoned with as well. I see it especially in my soon to be 13 year old granddaughter. I smile a little to myself when I recall her activism at an early age of 8, canvassing door to door to elect a local school board member. and later for Black Lives Matter rally at Lake Merritt in Oakland, Ca. It's in the family, but she is an eager player in all of it. The environment, Socio-Justice issues, and LGBQ etc..
We didn't get it done, but maybe with we achieve enough to get us through to the next generation, may the forces be with us.
P.S. Didn't mean to be such a downer. My heart just aches for it all, and I don't recall feeling so overwhelmed as I do now these past few years and especially after a Presidential victory... never felt so much fear and angst for the present.
So Courage is my motto for today. !
