Here I borrow the title of Thich Nhat Hanh’s book as a reminder of the power of each vote holds and its impact–near, far, and wide into the future.
As we arrive at the voting booth tomorrow, may we all pause to reflect on the history we have inherited from past political actions (invested as they are with our personal ethics, religious influences, biases and prejudices) and the subsequent legacy we are co-creating with every present/future decision.
May we think not simply of ourselves, but of all others who may be harmed or helped by our voting power.
