I know this is too late to go on the prompt journey....I hope you're planning another one...please provide reminders via email...that would be so appreciated! I'm protesting today with Sister District, an excellent organization I've worked with for years. We know what to do if we see violence...move away quickly to isolate the perpetrator...I for one do not want to get beat up or arrested...thank you for your wise words...my rabbi just posted a summary of this week's Torah portion....everything is going wrong for Moses, he is overwhelmed, at the end of his rope...calls out to God...who says you do have to do this alone....

Sending you strength and gratitude, dear Julie. So glad to hear that you can be with an organization that you know and trust and have worked with for years today. I will continue to provide reminders via email a few days before each live prompt journey. These are challenging times. Please be gentle with yourself. And thank you so much for protesting. Stay safe.

Dear Rachel,

Thank you so much for letting us be embraced by the boat of your words even in the most stormy time of your life. I've been thinking what to say and thinking I'd better say nothing in this time because even the kindest word could be a thornful burden for the most delicate souls. I sometimes almost give up thinking our society will make a right decision for justice and human rights for the most vulnerable people as you know, but I still believe we, poets, can use the words as blessing for making this world better and safer place to live.
