Quinoa Salad with Grilled Vegetables
Beautiful Quinoa Salad with Grilled Veggies
But first a note---The times they are a'changin' sang Bob Dylan. The whole wide world is rising up, clamoring for change, for justice, for respect and compassion for all human beings- black, brown, indigenous, (and yes, white), young and old, fragile and strong, quiet and fierce, timid and brave, burdened and free. Let us take a breath and listen, learn, empathize, grow, support, love and take care of one another.
History can teach us how we got here. Truth has the power to enlighten us, if we face it, honestly, with humility and empathy. Understanding another person's experience and perspective, their challenges and their pain, is a first step toward healing, toward a better, shared future.
So let's come together and make the world kinder, less cynical, more equitable, just, and safe- not just for some, but for everyone (as the song goes). Let's ask Why? instead of assuming we know. Let's listen instead of defending our own position. Let's do our homework and uncover the history, the causes and effects, the inherited fears and systemic biases, the assumptions we all make each and every day- that may not even be true.
Being human means we have a head and a heart. With every new day we can learn, we can change, change our mind, choose The Good, shun The Toxic, do the right thing, take a stand for The Righteous. We can uplift, we can share, we can teach. And we can respect one another. And from that mutual respect, we all benefit.
Black Lives Matter.
Love + Peace + Justice,
