Hi friends,
I have been gutted by the murder of John Sebastian Guerrrero. That took place on Monday. I shared with a dear friend, how would you show up and teach class the next morning.
As teachers, there are certain expections placed upon us. And also expectations we place upon ourselves.
It’s more than a liminal space,,, at least for me it feels bigger. It‘s the undercurrent of the power they have been giving. No questions asked. To take a life. The child that witnessed, the mother those passing by. So many lives forever changed.
It seems surreal.
I am holding class this evening at 4:45. For the spaces in between.
Community, and connection are what we must not lose site of, even in the darkest of times. If not with me, maybe meet a friend, go for a walk, enjoy the water at its most pristine time of year. It is essential we do not become more comfortable suffering and pain and declare it Normal.
None of this is okay and certainly should not be normalized.
