Happy Juneteenth, everyone! Arif Gursel, an engineer from Bellevue, created a space called The Union where black people can come and learn, grow, hang out and uplift others in the community.
It's slightly cooler today but still sunny. Bike down to the library to put a hold on Michael Eric Dyson's book - What Truth Sounds Like.
Compassion is created when we see someone suffering and want to help. With all that's happening today, I refer to Bobby Kennedy. Kennedy Quoted Aeschylus:
My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He once wrote, “And even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.” What we need in the United States is not division. what we need in the United States is not hatred. What we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but love and wisdom and compassion toward one another, a feeling of justice to those who still suffer in our country, whether they be white or whether they be black.
