Truth Is…
Black people are raised to acknowledge that every system they encounter is stacked against them, “You have to try twice as hard to get half as far,” “they are all waiting for you to fail,” and “you don’t get second chances” are shared by parents and community elders along with bedtime stories and arm milk. Any sense of vulnerability feels like a weapon that can be turned against oneself, rather than s source of strength and power – Imani Barbarin

Sit and Notice
Open your window, feel the fresh air, sit and listen to the sounds of nature.
Sit until the fog burns off…
Sit until the sun completely sets…
Sit until the rain ends… or begins….
Watch an animal, even an insect at work or play until it departs…
Sit until the puddle dries in the sun…
Sit and watch a shadow until it has crossed your path…
Sit until the birds finish their song…
If you can, sit beneath a tree until it lets go of a leaf and you see (or even hear) it fall to the ground.
If you can, sit at a lake and watch the surface until the wind shifts or stops…
Or simply sit until that cloud completely changes shape, and disappears or passes on the horizon….
