I happened upon these words last night on Pinterest of all places. The text is by Loryn Brantz.
In a time of hate
Love is an act of resistance
In a time of fear
Faith is an act of resistance
In a time of misinformation
Education is an act of resistance
In a time of poor leadership
Community is an act of resistance
In a time like this
Joy is an act of resistance
Resist. Resist. Resist.
As I wrote in my last post, it’s hard for me to believe that I have anything meaningful to offer as we continue to sink into chaos and cruelty. Brantz’ words sparked something inside me - - a glimmer - - that I might still find a way to be helpful.
In particular:
In a time of misinformation
Education is an act of resistance
In a time of poor leadership
Community is an act of resistance
The feedback I received last week made me realize that I’m not alone in asking this question:
What can I do with the abilities that I have to make a meaningful contribution?
Perhaps this is it: supporting community and helping people be better informed by telling the stories of who we are and what we are doing.
I’m not at all sure that I’m up to the task but I’m going to give it a shot.
