I love this piece so much. So much wisdom. We can all make tiny changes in whichever corners of the world we move in. It’s important in the work of resistance to identify where you can and want to sit, as you say. Not everyone wants to go to a protest - and that’s okay! Not everyone can contribute financially - and that’s okay! Not everyone wants to put their body on the line - and that’s okay! There are so many ways to support and say I am not okay with what is happening.
I have the words “make tiny changes” tattooed on my arm, part of the lyric “while I’m alive I’ll make tiny changes to earth” from a Frightened Rabbit song, my favorite band of all time. My always motto.
Thank you, Michele. What wonderful things would happen if we all made tiny changes? I love that.
I think so much of our interest in denying our reality is because once we acknowledge it, we also have to sit with what we haven't done about it - I think getting comfortable with the idea that we don't have to everything about it, we just have to do something. One small thing to make something change.
