The following is a post I wrote on Facebook in response to the various emotions that are flowing through me at this time. Seeing what is going on in our nation with Black people being murdered by law enforcement is very disturbing.

We pray, we protest, we sing, we cry, we dance, we enforce, we retreat, we kill, we are killed, we talk, we give birth, we make love, we fight, we mobilize, we vote,we expatriate, we bear arms, we revenge, we ignore, we unplug, we blame, we love, we hate, we get angry, we calm down, we go through all the motions of what we know is humanely right and respond accordingly, we just be who we be… and it still ain’t enough. The invisible force still finds a way to seep in. On my Facebook page I posted a few musical selections that came to mind (there were many more) but I wanted to cover everyone with something that might speak to you and where you are at mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

There are better ways to do this. There has to be. Praying for Peace and Justice.

With the increasing number of Blacks dying daily at the hands of law enforcement this has left society with a lot of unanswered questions coupled with pain and sorrow, sometimes on both sides.

There are no words that can truly fill in the brokenness. Yet, I will strive to offer comfort to those who mourn.

The Bible tells us for those that mourn, God will give us beauty for ashes. I’m here for you. Hugs. I sympathize with you. I stand with you. I know it’s not enough.

Let’s pray with our feet. Take action. Get involved. Offer comfort. Love on one another. Make changes. Offer support.

Lastly, there are no words to bring back the dearly departed. It also takes time to forgive and then a measure of healing can take place. Let us remember the names of those who we are standing in the gap for.
