not much.
5 weeks ago we had a baby.
4 months ago a pandemic shifted contemoporary life.
Almost a month ago George Floyd's death (finally) awakened much of America to the realities of systematic racism and the brutal murders of black folks by paid employees of cities and states.
Life is at a strange crossroads.
There is so much change.
So much loss.
So much hope.
But as Valerie Kaur says, "What if this darkness is not the darkness of the tomb, but the darkness of the womb?"
Esther, our baby, is beautiful.She seems perfect at this time.She is by far the easiest child.
There is so much going on here, in my house, in my heart, at my hearth. It is so so hard in these walls.
I can barely rise above the surface. All we can do most days is remember to Tithe to black and brown organizations and then fall back into the pitiable power struggles with our kids.
