Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I finished writing my 100 postcards to encourage women to vote. I hope it helps. At least I'm doing something and not just complaining. Our sky is again weird today, and the air quality not great, but much worse other places. We're all holding our breath here that these next couple of days with red flag warnings don't trigger new fires or exaserbate the the existing ones. I avoided the debate, and from what I hear I'm lucky. I'm reading Isabel Wilkerson's "Caste", a phenomenally well written book about race in America, that brings our history into clear focus in a powerful and refreshing way. She speaks truth, the way James Baldwin so eloquently did. I hope we can work on these issues and have a form of truth and reconciliation in our country. We need to acknowledge our past and energize ourselves to repair and heal. And attack the inequities and restructure our society. We can do it if we are brave and have the will to change. Every country has ugly history, we just need to "gut up" as Brad Pitt's character says in World War Z and fix this. Let's fix this. We can.
