The Women's March is part of the new era, part of the future. Trump and his folks cling desperately to the past. We decide where to focus our death as we march. Remember these quotes we used to surround ourselves with? "Man anticipates more or less clearly is entire future at every moment." - Jose Orega y Gassett "We have arrived at an historical vantage point ... where the wasteland ends and ...human wholeness and fulfillment begins." Theodore Rosak "What appears to be a breaking down of civilization may well be simply the breaking up of old forms by life itself." Joyce Carol Oates "At the edge of history the future is blowing wildly in our faces, sometimes brightening the air and sometimes blinding us." William Irwin Thompson "The task before us now, if we would not perish, is to shake off our ancient prejudices, and to build the earth."

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. 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. Trump will fumble and stumble, but we've got him for four years. Bad and good are our choices. There is just trump. And there is just this age. The Earth will survive, and everyone has a choice to make: hope or despair.
