Thursday Thoughts...

“Let no one be discouraged by the belief there is nothing one person can do against the enormous array of the world's ills, misery, ignorance, and violence. Few will have the greatness to bend history, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. And in the total of all those acts will be written the history of a generation.” 

 Robert F. Kennedy

It is sometimes so hard not to be discouraged. I think here, RFK is trying to let us all know that our small acts, our individual conversations, the small things we each do, can help shape a future. 

Even tho the loud and large world may seem to be saying the opposite of what we hope for.

Our country is undertaking an ugly conversation about the simple notion of a Voice To Parliament for our Indigenous people. For so many reasons I am voting YES and it feels as if I am just one tiny voice amongst the ugliness. 

I dearly hope that we can bend the arc of history; however, I am uncertain, and fearful, that we will not prove to be up to the task of being the best we can be. 

One small voice tho, can be amplified by sharing, so the YES buttons have been made and shared around and are being worn by many folk in many places. I hope we can write a positive history of our generation.
