A nation braces for another night of unrest.
Demonstrations Resume as Mayors Call for ‘Peace, Not Patience’ (New York Times 20/05/31)
Some will draft letters to the government, others will create signs for protest demonstrations, I may do so tomorrow though today on this day of pain …
….I elect to write a post to this blog.
“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it–always.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
It seems like the right moment for the thoughts of Ghandi.

I just came from a protest in a small Cornish town, Camelford. Maybe 30 people. All white. Not a particularly significant event except for the fact that it happened, and that no one ever knows which of the seeds that get planted will grow–or in the case of social change, into what. I’m grateful I could be there.
