When it hits you.
I feel frightened and nauseas and
nervous and frightened… It feels like you can’t breathe. Like the world is
slipping from your hands. And I’m reminded of God and all that is good and the
unity of people and the reason within the minds of the enlightened… and STILL
there is no peace here.
It’s disturbed and it’s sickening.
This is why I was against voting for Trump. I knew what was implied. I knew it
would embolden racists and rapists. Everyone knows that storm was bubbling
right under the surface. But now it is emboldened and given free reign where
before it was held at bay.
Things are going to get very DARK.
Lots of pain. Like a murderer a policeman walked over to and handed a knife. And
yet the majority of people aren’t that lost. I have seen that this line won’t
be broken. That things will hold firm where they need to… and STILL there is no
solace here.
I fear very deeply for black people.
I fear for women in particular, for men will seek to pray on them most
considering it easiest. I fear for Muslims and gays as well. I fear especially
for transgender people. I fear for their safety and their safe keeping.
I feel like these human lives are
like porcelain dolls someone decided to hand a 2 year old with a hammer. I fear
for that which I love. I fear the sanctity and the light of these lives will be
put out. I know if things change it will be swift from those who are malicious
and then slow by those who have compassion.
We will learn, but it will take
time. This waiting makes me uneasy. Only this kind of man and this kind of
mentality can make you feel like an endangered species.
