I'll march today in the Women's March on Washington alongside my husband and with many thousands of other women and people who are passionate about women's and human rights.
I won't march against Trump, although I am appalled by the man, his immorality, and lack of judgment. For me, and for the founders of the march and so many of us who have joined, this is a march for. I'll march for: * coming together with our differences as opposed to staying apart because of them; * the dignity of all human beings; * the possibility of a system of governance that embodies wisdom, cooperation, thoughtful compromise and (as Michelle Obama says) going high even though others may go low; * to remind myself that there is power in community; * to remind myself that I have a choice, and my choice is to stand for what I believe in with a clear eye for reality and a compassionate heart for suffering of all kinds. See you there!
