Hi again! I hope that everyone has seen at least some of the House January 6 Select Committee hearings. As they go along, they become ever more gripping. In them, we see everyday people living their lives until Donald Trump and company drop a huge boulder upon them. But the good part is when under the threat of death, these courageous people step forward into the bright lights of the public and risk all even more.
This inspired a chapter in Three White Lions and the first picture below. It was far more than one person, but a community only connected by this patriotism, committed to saving our democracy. A democracy saved only by a slender silk thread on January 6, 2020.
What is brilliant about this is that Good stepped forward and gave them a hand to stead their walk. Even as their own lives were under extreme duress.
I learn so much by watching the hearings. Most striking is that the web of violence was carefully planned. Another was that this was a mixed bowl of old, young, ultra-conservative Republicans to casual Democrats. And finally that two of those heroes attacked by the Trump minions were dealing with the deaths of their adult children. And yet they resisted. One even said that this was a matter of being “a tenant of my faith, that the Constitution is divinely inspired.” Live and learn in this wonderful kaleidoscope of life.
Okay, enough of that! Let’s have some magic!
Gloria
