Self-Organizing Man

Over the last two days, the Divine Ms. H and I have had the pleasure of Anna Camilleri’s company.

We chatted and shared stories and much affection and talked of many things.

One thing we all agreed on:

The last, and perhaps worst, victory of the oppressor culminates when we concede to them our right to tell our stories.

No matter what happens to us, no matter the legislation they pass, the rights they take away, the physical harm the inflict upon us, we must always communicate our truth.

We cannot buy what they are selling. Ever. No matter how tasty or pleasurable or real their stories seem, they can never be our stories. We can never let them control our minds.

Even if they kill us, we can, with our last thoughts, leave an intention for good and righteousness in the world.

Stay strong and keep sharing your stories, in whatever way you can, wherever you can, whether anyone listens or not.

Our lives and future depend on it.
