“We cannot become the worst version of ourselves in our attempts at resistance. We must resist, as we do, with all the strength and persistence in us, but also with all the grace, empathy, and humility we can muster. It is the only way we can save not just the country but our selves.” GraceStrengthHumilitySurvivalEmpathyResistancePersistenceResistResistance Making Author:Shellen Lubin
“We can learn from the grass, tiny fragile blades that somehow manage to push through the cracks in the cement of the sidewalk. We can learn from water, wearing down mountains into sand, from little droplets becoming floods, oceans, tidal waves. We can learn from all upheavals from struggles for justice because they only seem inevitable in hindsight-- while they are happening they feel grueling if not impossible. We can learn from Elie Wiesel, who shared his bread in the concentration camp so more people could eat some instead of hording it so he could eat fully.” JusticeStruggleFlowLearnAltruismGrowHindsightPushResistance Making Author:Shellen Lubin
