When The Mountain Will Move

There’s plenty of people who are around to tell you how to feel about things, how to behave, and how they’ll judge you.

Are there enough people who can just hold space for themselves and others and accept?

Are there enough people yet who understand the meaning of, “justice is love made public?”

I already know that connection, transformation and common decency can move mountains.

The only question is when the mountain will move.
