Been thinkin’ a lot about demonstrating, for obvious reasons, and also about how it is so much easier to destroy than it is to build. And how peace is a thing that is built. Peace is not the absence of something. It’s the presence of something that is created and worked on and reinforced every day. And also how it is so important to speak up, because it gives others the opening to speak up also, and that is how things get built. So we’ve gotta keep building, no matter what gets torn down.
