If they don’t remember do they ever really understand
that reading must be in service of the content
a way to learn more deeply
a way to live an intellectual life
To do this work you must
be a passionate
powerful
empathetic
Thought leader
It takes constant vigilance
fervent concentration
an integration of knowledge and ideas
to live differently
Let your words be a
Weapon of protest
Let your actions be a
Weapon of love
Awakening in all
courage to take action
to have a dream
and build a museum of celebration
Let’s have a drum roll for
starting small
Mirror, mirror on the wall
reflect and see what matters most
The times, they are a changing
And so must we.
