Would you help me tweet this around the world?
Kindness matters
But kindness does not = justice
Civility counts
But civility is not the humane response to injustice
Justice is
Love is essential
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander
Love puts in work.

Never be in a hurry; do everything in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything even if your whole world seems upset.

“I want to instill in my children the sense of Black possibility and responsibility that arises in the hearts of those who escaped the fire,” writes @esaumccaulley. “It is a message that I needed when my belly was empty.” https://t.co/F7DkakuXxx
“I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.”
— Anne Morrow Lindberg
@fairlyspiritual Thank you for this thread and naming the unique challenge. If it weren't for an amazing supportive eldership team, my husband and I would not have survived the last 18 mts
