Fire Plug

Refocus.

Have you ever experienced the blast of a fire plug spurting a stream of water strong enough to knock you down?

Subjecting my eyes and ears, mind and heart, to our system of criminal justice, incarceration, parole and life after incarceration has been for me a lot like being knocked down by a force that I am powerless to change.

I get so angry and frustrated. After a bit, I remember that I am not God. I get back up, I refocus on what is, I channel my energy into where I have influence.  It’s really so simple.  Listen, listen. Love, love.
