I am disappointed but unbowed.
The eternal optimist in me will hope for a better America and encourage those who feel the same to work towards a brighter future for everyone and not exclude or bully someone just because you can.
Fear has proven to be a great motivator and most difficult to defeat.
Unfortunately, some comfort themselves with power and puff themselves up with even more, instead of filling their hearts with empathy, compassion, and kindness.
And at the end of the day power is cold comfort.
Empathy, compassion, and kindness are what fill the heart with love and the real strength to overcome fear.
Empathy, compassion, and kindness are what lift the soul and allow our spirits to soar to the heavens and walk with the holy.
Though I will walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil, for love, empathy, compassion, and kindness will comfort my broken heart and heal my injured soul.
I hope, if you so wish, you will find comfort in love filled with compassion and kindness and peace in the empathy of the Holy Spirit.
