To those who say, “Move on”: Whenever what is dark and ugly is suppressed, it does not go away. The forces involved go deep, further under cover, and gather strength. Moving on invites even greater disaster. The magma of that ugliness and destruction will break through, worse than ever.
There must be justice. And by justice I mean punishment. No matter who it is.
The survivors? My mind seizes up on knowing what can be done for them. Apologies? For sure. From the abusers. From the system. From a people—all of us, beyond borders.
Other than that?
Electoral change of course is essential, but insufficient. Transformation is needed at the cellular level, and this isn’t just on you, America. People are damaged, all over. Whatever else, let’s look to simple things. Sing in the kitchen. Paint. Write silly poems. Read a book with someone.
Listen.
