It's permissible to take a break. It's not permissible to quit.

It's all heartbreaking. Each morning my thoughts turn to brown-skinned people in our nation, many who have been here for decades, who have children born here, each day waking up in fear. We are experiencing state and nation sponsored racial cleansing. I also wake up with sadness, grief that human nature allows the capacity to shut down, absence us from our basic humanity and empathy...allowing a sadistic celebration of cruelty to others. What are those of us who refuse to harden, who each day wake up with a commitment to keep our hearts soft and open to do when we see neighbors, workers, friends rounded up on the street?
