Women’s March #10 in Ventura

Come out and celebrate Freedom at the 10th Annual Women’s March in downtown Ventura! Gathering in Plaza Park & walk from there…
~~~~~~~~~

Because I Was Tired ~
I thought I would go out for a walk

Instead of saying people suck
Which, yeah, I’ve also said,
I’m out here in the dread,

Because I was tired
But more tired of not saying,
We are Free, You & Me

Seeing if we can shed a tear, a light, our pasts, our illusions, our fears,
whatever we need to shed
To cast out the dread
To act as if we have a chance…
To show we have a choice
To save the Earth
To chart a course
To see each other, fresh

To Be Just
but ~ beyond that ~
Just, really, To Be
To let each other Breathe.

I’m not a protester. But I’m out here today.

You don’t have to carry anything
Any label, the pasts, the weight, that dread unsaid
We are not defined
Release it from your mind
You are here.
You are the sign.

Seeing if we can lead with love & hope & imagining for each other
And Smile
~ And not be led
