Maybe we will learn something this time. The words of Martin Luther King were perfect then and now. There's a big difference between peaceful protests and riots.

My heart has been so very heavy - it seems to me that racism should be a thing of the past and it hurts to realize that it is still so prevalent today. I've been trying to put all of my emotion into words and can't find them. So I will pray. And love. And spread kindness whenever/however I can. Sending love, my friend.

It took the politicians who are both Democrats by the way four days to do something. It is okay to protest I get that but when you loot and burn down buildings then it has to be stopped.

Last night I sat in my (darkened) apartment watching the rioting in downtown Pittsburgh on my local news in disbelief... I got up & looked out my big window and noticed most of the houses up & down my street were dark as well. Thanks for sharing the Martin Luther King quotes, and I loved that glistening cobweb photo. Let's hope & pray we do come out the better for this.

I feel trapped, not so much by staying at home, but by my body, which is hurting very much this morning, so much that it is numbing the pain in my spirit that I share with so many over the racially motivated killings and the chaos created by those whose goal is not love and support, but violence and chaos. <br />It's hard to feel positive right now, but I'll go take a hot shower now and work on myself. I can't help others if I can't fix myself.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
