As an activist, there is a constant dread of the human condition…the anger, the vitriol, the dysfunction, the scape-goating, the masking and the constant justifying of violence of all kinds, emotional, mental and physical…all the junk of human life that seems to suffocate so much of the beauty of both planet and persons.
An amazing place to live, and rather than find how to do it together…we try so hard to do it alone chasing false gods of security and meaningfulness.
And in the midst of my attention so often being pulled to the debris of human life, I am richly rewarded by the surprise of human life where our beauty as an animal of effort, goal, connection, response, redemption, and innocence are all made visible in some package that sends chills through me, and alights tears along my eyelids as I am reminded all of this is worth struggling for…
This young man once again…gives me chills…
