Sometimes It's Just Easier To Be Quiet And Listen

Every year I remember this day on my blog. I wanted to write something profound but this year is so much different. Our Country has been divided by hate and fear mongers. People are giving speeches in Alaska to make a profit off the death of so many and our world is changing. Our world changed that day, but now it's shifting in a direction guided by large corporations and snake oil salesman. I am sad today for my granddaughters future as well as your grand children's future. If we don't take our Country back from the media, the liars, the racist and those who invoke violence for profit, it will only get worse. I was going to say something profound but it's hard today to say anything about the loss these families have experienced because words don't really change what they must feel. Today I thought I would listen to the Presidents speech that I missed yesterday and try to let my soul be quiet...maybe the peace of listening and being quiet can get all of us through this day, this memory.-Mem
