A commitment to PEACE creates the safe space we all need to live our lives, fulfill our dreams and yes, even express our anger. What a gift this would be after the violence, destruction and chaos of 2020..the blessed reassurance, the commitment, that we will not hurt or damage each other’s lives.
It’s both hopeful and discouraging that there are still signs asking us to stop racism. I just don’t understand why it’s still an issue, it seems like we aren’t much better off than we were 60 years ago. Let’s hope the new administration will make some progress.
One thing I find frustrating about some people is they like to tout the Constitution as this cherished document, but when someone protests that hold an opposing views, they find a way to look the other way. That’s not the way it’s supposed to work.
They are that!
