Balm for my downtrodden spirit this morning, and I thank you, truly, for offering clarity in this false-narrative climate we inhabit. Courage is individual and collective, one leading another, I believe. We need reminders. Knowing her story is fuel for my courage tank this early morning. I will take your words of truth and Spirit-inspired resolve into my day, with deep gratitude.
AMEN, brothers and sisters! Are the inheritors of their courage among us? If so, where are they???? Certainly not in the current Congress. Don't hear much from the pulpits and the mouths of the media have been silenced. I am truly frightened and glad I am so old. Won't be around for catastrophe!
Silence, flimsy shield.
Compliance, frail protector.
Courage, not fail-proof.
...
Resistance, faith-fed.
Resolve, fear notwithstanding.
Recall Fannie, friends.

Your writing is so encouraging and grounding. It helps keep this Quaker centered. Thank you.
Thanks for this.

She is one of my heroes. Check out a poem by Sam Cornish celebrating her.
