CHANGES AHEAD

Watch, listen, process, think, feel — most of all, act.

We are all working through the events of recent days — wondering how we got this way, and wondering what’s ahead for our country and for us. We play and re-play the shocking and frightening images; journalists offer interviews with witnesses and analyses of developments. Officials and leaders make statements and offer reassurances.

And through it all, we go on with our day-in and day-out lives because we have to. There are errands to run, appointments to keep, shopping to do, meals to fix. But over and under and through it all — we are remembering the news and hoping for a better tomorrow. Beyond hope comes action. Do something. Reach out. Start a conversation. Doing nothing is not an option.

I’ve been listening to my friends’ album, Inevitable by Al-d Words and E.T. Got-Soul. Every track seems to fit, but I especially keyed on “In This Together” and “Equality” featuring Icye. Music is powerful; music heals.
