Let’s all strive for love

BRATTLEBORO — The whole world today is in the throes of anxiety and fear. But let me assure you that right will be restored and evil characters put down, regardless of race, creed, religion, or any of the multitudinous menu of -isms claimed.

Your duty: yearn to understand the history of race consciousness and its apparent multiplicity. Strive to become communities of love, compassion, service, mutual forbearance, and tolerance.

Freedom to me means loving, being an ethical citizen, using culturally inspirational educational tools that map and trace the commonalities of our cultural lens and the stages of development that cause and affect race consciousness.

Come on - let's get a grip and cease blaming, shaming, one another!

Let's change for all children. Provide them with new learning attitudes. Go the extra mile to overcome our mistakes. Let's trace, face, and heal the need to be always right! Be what the world needs: Vermont sweet-style love, like our pricey maple syrup.

Nothing can hurt you. Realize that each individual's character speaks for itself.

Learn how to play this game of life. Meet everybody and every circumstance on the battlefield of life with courage (but without the gun, without the verbal negative ammunition, without the frowns).

Face challenges with a little more grace. Stop signing the victim-and-victimizer contract. Break it!

Who are the peacemakers among you? Who will be the victors in this world?

“In the end we will conserve what we love, we will love only what we understand, and understand only what we are taught.” -Baba Dioum.

We will learn to co-exist or co-destruct. What do we living in Windham County choose?
