change is change

busysmartypants is making some moves this week.
Some temporary, some longer term.
Sleep is elusive. As soon as I yawn and turn out the light, my brain perks up and the neurons start firing.
I get up until another yawn comes. Then the brain.
And so on.
I have been walking more, a couple of hour jaunts, to try and wear out the body.
Last Saturday's chaos and terror stay with me.
What happened to serve and protect?
"Our institutions will save us," people said sagely, after the 2016 election.
White people said this sagely, I'm realizing now.
And our institutions won't, I'm realizing now too.
Only we can save ourselves.
Courage.
