It's a dark and stormy day. A day for staying in and reading, if the lights stay on. I'm hoping for no fallen trees and dire consequences. In the meantime, Berkeley is in it's own state of unrest. Demonstrations every night, and every night thugs disrupting the message and the plea for justice and fairness. Under cover of well meaning people concerned for young black men's risks by simply being of that race, people intent on destruction and thievery grab and smash.
It's discouraging for those of us who would like to join a quiet, peaceful expression of concern and need for changes. There is not enough solid organization or volunteers to monitor these aberrant acts. These few thugs are silencing others. I hope this deluge of rain washes the unclean from the clean thought and act. Because children are dying, and everyone's being hurt by careless policies, monitoring and lack of options for youth. The fear needs to be put out and constructive acts persistently pursued. I'm praying for clarity and action that produces positive change.
