A whole lot of people have already died. It is up to us and us only whether or not we will change the world.

3/ You can turn to the back page of the book & see how the story ends: Love wins. Love wins because that's ordained; what's completely up to us is how long it takes & how much suffering comes first. The people of the world have suffered enough. It's time for love to have its say.

2/ Change won’t come from spurts of adrenaline-based effort bound to depress us more when any one effort doesn’t succeed. It will come from hunkering down and preparing ourselves for a long sustained effort, an activism that’s here to stay because we’re not done until it’s done.

1/ The system works in such a way that we’d be all outraged & heartbroken now about George Floyd, but after a few days outrage fatigue takes over and we’d return to the chronic state of low level depression among millions of people that is exactly what keeps the system in place.

I’ll agree with you that it’s the 11th hour ... but it’s not midnight yet. Around 11:45 is often when the miracle happens.

Separation of church and state has nothing to do with that. JFK said, “We cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.”

Brilliant systems were also put in place. Systems that give us the opportunity to deal with what’s happening.

4/ We will pray. We will make things right. We will work to fix it. We will make amends. We will not give up. We will not cower. We will not be seduced. We will not be duped. We will not stop until the work is done. We will kick ass. And we will recreate the world. Amen.

3/ But Atonement itself is not enough; we must also make Amends. We're the generation that must now do both. No more pictures of Lady Liberty crying. I see Lady Liberty raising her hands in the air now and saying, “Enough is enough.” We will rise. We will atone.

2/ There is a universal spiritual principle at the heart of all the great religious systems - the principle of Atonement. What happens when the heart cries out and says, “Yes, I know what I have done.” Lincoln said nations as well as individuals must atone.

1/ These are revolutionary times & nothing is going to stop it. America is experiencing a Great Reckoning. Not enough to be good if our public policies are not. Too often they've served not justice or righteousness, so much as greed and domination. We're reaping what we have sown
