Finding Alice

What I Can't Help But Say

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

**********

Words. My building blocks and none of them behaving. Refusing to line up neatly and obediently at my command, marching themselves into sentences, then paragraphs.

So for now, I will surrender and leave them be. I refuse to force them to my will.

  • Privilege
  • Injustice
  • Oppression
  • Equity
  • Grief
  • Divided
  • United
  • Acknowledge
  • Anger
  • Rage
  • Connect
  • Action
  • Reform
  • Accountability
  • Understanding
  • Empathy
  • Compassion
  • Self-awareness
  • Respect
  • Healing
  • Change
  • Meaningful
  • Tangible
  • Now

Just words. I heard that when all is finally written, said or done, one good sketch is worth a thousand, right? An artistic daughter continues to teach her parents well.

    No worries Alice. I enjoyed her portfolio and that is a fabulous rendering of George Floyd.
