From a song that I am listening to -- on community

This has just come up in shuffle:

True hope resides in that moment where a person holds their hand out to a stranger on the ground / I will not allow myself to be destroyed by these betrayals / I won’t ever let these bastards grind me down.

(Onsind -- Kim Kelley Is My Cognitive Behaviourial Therapist; they write beautifully about all this kind of thing.)

And it's defiant and desperate and it is solidarity, and it reminds me that I have community, and how I can build, and how I can help, even as my government is tearing things down around me.
