Yes! We will rise. Our principles and values are still worth fighting for. Thank you, Al. (I'll return later to listen to your music; my MotD is itching to be written.)
ETA: As soon as I heard the first notes of this song, it all came flooding back. I adored it back in the day. Diana Ross does not get the attention and respect she deserves. (If memory serves, you said something similar on my MotD featuring her.)
Remember - as bad as it feels right now (and likely will) we all have comforting places to connect with others - Letters from an American, Civil Discourse, The Front Page and right here!
AND most of us will feel exactly the same way you do! Thats a good feeling - no matter what any disbelievers think.
Perhaps this is too on the nose for me
We know are in the time when the only cliché : "what did you do during the demise of democracy"
is a think.. and too many people did nothing and way more people wanted to be part of the demise
Still I Rise
Always, Aimee 💕
when the world
goes mad
become wildly kind
to everyone
everyone
everyone
everyone
my love,
~ you can’t control
much
but you control how
you treat others
in these breaking news
heartbreaking times
when nothing feels
certain
let your raw kindness
be a certainty
allow your compassion
to become a North Star
stamped up in
the sky for
others to follow
back home

Thank you so much for sharing that poem, and introducing me to John Roedel.

Diana was as hot as anyone in music, during her heyday. Funny how fast fame can fade.
I don't know if that is true... exactly
I really believe ALL of motown, has found a place in our soul (pun not intended.. but should be there)
Forgot: Hello kleptocracy.
I wept when I watched Kamala's "concession" speech. I hope to rise again, but right now, it hurts.
It appeared from looking at the crowd - many young people - you werent alone!
Yes, it does. It hurts. And the pain will be worse for a while.
Goodbye truth. Goodbye conscience. Goodbye education. Goodbye morality. Goodbye reality.
I want to stay in bed with the covers pulled over my head for the next four years. It's the way I've always dealt with nightmares.
Remember - as bad as it feels right now (and likely will) we all have comforting places to connect with others - Letters from an American, Civil Discourse, The Front Page and right here!
AND most of us will feel exactly the same way you do! Thats a good feeling - no matter what any disbelievers think.
Don’t let the darkness win. Embrace the light.
