I wanted the last chapter of my life to be one where I would indulge in peaceful contentment smothered in blissful serenity. It's not happening. It's possible. But because of my values it is not possible. Because I sacrifice ringing in a happy-go-lucky day for justice. Doing the right thing is above personal glee. I can not sit back and laugh heartily because I am a citizen of WE THE PEOPLE. My habitat sits upon a cruel land. No authentic heart can sit in the luxury of serenading calm knowingly observing members of the human race created in God's dignity rounded up and snatched off the streets because they are viewed as inferior and stripped of their humanity because they are branded as abject criminals. And it has nothing to do about making a country safe. It's strictly racism and for anyone to deny that is simply making a choice to be moronic. A man named Alonzo Gonzales attends his daughter's graduation and is suddenly abducted by men wearing masks. There is no way these thugs could have known where he would be if they were looking for him. He is snatched because of racial profiling. You cannot discover the whereabouts of thousands of people in public settings because you do not know their schedule. But cruelty knows their skin. This is why at this point there are thousands who have been misidentified but at first we're guilty because they are brown and they have black hair and speak a cadence in thick accent. They become rubble piled upon each other in cages and people say they voted for this and they are proud of this. I remember 9/11/2001 and for the following weeks I said to myself never as long as I live will I see a worst day. I was wrong. I'm not happy. I can't be. So how do I make it all bearable? There is a choice and I make it every day. Be a light. There is darkness now. We need light from one another. I need my friends to shine and I will do my best to be bright as well. I don't wallow in misery 24/7 because of one thing WE THE PEOPLE cannot take from me and that is my personal possessions of Hope and Light. As long as I allow God's light to shine within me with open ears and an open heart listening in discernment of the Holy Spirit the light becomes kindness. I will be kind. Kindness begets hope. So for now I may not dance in the streets and I might not celebrate the hilarity of a comedian but I will be kind. And occasionally smile as an appreciative recipient of the kindness from friends. I accept my heart is broken and there is not enough time for it to mend in this my final chapter. Personal happiness is not my vocation in the first place. God calls me to be an ambassador of Justice. I have done this in every chapter of my life and I'm not about to stop.
