<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Jann -- It helps to surround ourselves with these right now. By the way, small Minnesota had six rallies on Saturday...nearly 100,000 in St. Paul (the capitol) alone. They had predicted 20,000 at the women's march. People are standing up, crossing boundaries, coming together -- with lots of men, kids, and grand-kids participating -- building something powerful and new.<div><br></div><div>Joyce</div><div><a href="mailto:bonafieldcohort26@gmail.com">bonafieldcohort26@gmail.com</a></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 24, 2017 at 12:26 PM, via OE <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" target="_blank">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black"><span><span style="font-size:12pt"><br></span></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black"><span><span style="font-size:12pt">The Women's March is part of the new era, part of the future.</span></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black"><span><span style="font-size:12pt"><br></span></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:black"><span><span style="font-size:12pt">Trump and his folks cling desperately to the past.</span></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><span style="font-size:16px"><br></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><span style="font-size:16px">We decide where to focus our death as we march.</span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><span style="font-size:16px"><br></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><span style="font-size:16px">Remember these quotes we used to surround ourselves with? </span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><span style="font-size:16px"><br></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><span style="font-size:16px">"Man anticipates more or less clearly is entire future at every moment." - Jose Orega y Gassett</span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><span style="font-size:16px"><br></span></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:black"><span style="font-size:16px">"We have arrived at an historical vantage point ... where the wasteland ends and ...human wholeness and fulfillment begins."

<div>If the Woman's March is any indication, this was not an act of despair, though media wants to paint it that way; it was an assertive declaration of selfhood. </div>

<div>We are the ones dying, grasping at the last straw for our maneuvers that did not quit make the results we wanted it to make.</div>

</div>
<div>Trump will fumble and stumble, but we've got him for four years. Bad and good are our choices. There is just trump.</div>

<div>And there is just this age. The Earth will survive, and everyone has a choice to make: hope or despair.</div>
