How do you live in a land of loss?
That is the question to which tens of millions of Americans awoke the
morning after the 2016 election.
Many of us woke up feeling that our country was no longer familiar to us: that it was not the place we'd long thought it was. How do you live in a virtual reality of exile, where you fear you can no longer trust the place in which you live?
In short, the only answer is to live with love. We will weep and we will do so together with many of you, and we will build community, always community. Those of us who care about feminism, science, pluralism, minority rights, climate change, racial justice and compassion-driven public policy can no longer allow ourselves to deal with the social and political issues of the 21st century, on our own. We must get beyond being isolated interest groups and learn to be people who know one another and care about one another. Love is not easy in the land of loss, but it is possible and enough and it can begin with a simple hug and the willingness to begin again.
This is an excerpt from my piece "Living in a Land of Loss." To read the whole article, click here. And please join us this Sunday, and every Sunday at the Hub (more details below).
