Questions

We will fight, not out of spite

For someone must stand up for what's right

Cause where there's a man who has no voice

There ours shall go singing

                    From Hands by Jewel

I was listening to Pandora a few days ago and this song by Jewel began playing.  It's a song I've always liked and heard hundreds of times. But this time the simple lyrics above stirred me more than usual. Of course it's not surprising what with what's been happening the last few months over the last year really. It's hard  to think about. So many questions. So many changes occurring both personally and in our nation. . What does it mean for me, for us, to fight? How will that manifest itself into my life now? Old ways don't feel attractive now. LucyAnn and I will not be facing water cannons any time soon. How will we effectively stand for those of us who have no voice? How will we protect our children? What is our role now at this time in our lives? Answers, I hope, are coming.
