1.22.17 Not simple, not easy, but worthwhile

Not everything in life is simple, or easy, except underestimating how challenging it might be to be someone else. So what we discover as we mature is that we have it tougher than some, and far easier than most. 

Here, it was a quiet day and an immensely grateful day, watching online as millions of our brethren found the money and time and energy to make their arrangements in their lives and travel near or far, and show up for The Women's March on Washington, and sister marches. 

So many of us unable to go were over the top with solidarity and commonality of outrage and making our voices known. 

I myself was just so pleased and proud that so many could go.

So on this remarkable worldwide day, I rested and then drove to the farmers fields, drove the boy down the road , and stood in the vast fields and deep silence and rushing wind and melting mud and warm sun and was so grateful to throw this dog's ball and breathe fresh air and have silence and safety and hope for all these things for us all.
