I have learned the only sacred bond that truly exists is the
one you have with yourself to stand up in the face of hatred, bigotry,
homophobia and any other kind of behavior that denigrates another human being.
It may take many years to understand what this truly means.
It may have been plain as day all along; it may have been
written on the windowpane you’ve been looking through your whole life, but you
saw past it for some reason.
Maybe you thought you were honoring a memory or a tie you
really never were part of in the first place; one that sort of fell into your
lap.
And then one day the cup overflows and you find yourself
tired of trying to balance the cup and not spill it.
You dump out the whole mess, walk away and go on living your
life.
You’re surprised once again at how little effort it takes to
do the right thing.
love you Kitty!
ReplyDeleteThank you, MB. I love you back. This one's preaching to the choir when it comes to you.
DeleteCowardice asks the question - is it safe?
ReplyDeleteExpediency asks the question - is it politic?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular;
but one must take it because it is right.

Heard this on NPR this am and thought of you immediately <3
Wow. That pretty much sums up the whole thought process here, Amber.
DeleteThank you. xo
My pleasure Kitty, I feel very strongly about this thought process as well.
