Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
– James Baldwin
Justice is what love looks like in public.

Chalice Lighting
History, despite its wrenching pain
Cannot be unlived, but if faced
With courage, need not be lived again.
Lift up your eyes upon
The Day breaking for you.
Give birth again
To the dream.
(Maya Angelou)
