Dawn Williams Boyd:: Three Marys: Freedom Riders
Last Thursday Jo, Julia + I took in Dawn Williams Boyd's beautiful quilts. I was completely drawn into this one, above. Two days later, this horrifying scene played out again. It is difficult to know just what to do or say as a white woman. I do not want to say the wrong thing or to offend. I do not want to claim to understand or to shine a light on my own "enlightened" self. But I certainly do not want to be silent in the face of such disgusting hatred. 

Love.
Compassion.
Courage.
Together.
​
It's the only way forward. I want to move forward.

Love,
​Jane

P.S. Some things we can do to fight hate.

It makes me feel queasy and weak when I see or read about violence and hatred. I pray every day for people to be kind to one anther and not be filled with anger and hate. What a sad weekend it was in Charlottesville.

Prayer is powerful both in possibility + in what it does inside of us when we do it. Thank you for the reminder.

I am very ashamed and unhappy about the Canadians who went down there to participate.
