12.31.16 Let us now rise up

Here we are , hoping and praying for, and working toward, and learning toward a New Year of personal love and honoring, of professional patience and wisdom and courage to act sharp as a knife. 

To our persistent efforts on behalf of Equal Rights for all, no matter the cultural amnesia or dumbing down or apathy, toward harm and hatred and discrimination and violence. 
To persisting in the insistence upon Social and Economic Justice for all.

To the consciousness of all white people being raised for and by our selves, and of our fellow white brethren, no matter their antipathy or resistance. 

To our own garnering of gentle and measured compassion toward our selves, in all things. Let us now rise up , standing upon the noble powerful shoulders of all others across this earth, who have culled hatred and reinforced freedom and justice.

Let us now rise up and do wise bright assertive things this new year.
