Equity Makes Time for............

Wouldn’t human beings have more time to be kind, to love, if it wasn’t laid out that some people had everything and other people had very little? I can’t help thinking that we’d have more time for our children, our friends, our lovers, ourselves. If there was no material brass ring to grab for, then what would people do? People in the United States, that is. I've never lived anyplace else. I’m not saying that waiting for equity is the thing to do, and that meanwhile we might as well keep on keeping on with the greed, the cruelty, the selfishness, the disrespect, etc. until the equity arrives. It won’t arrive if we don’t do some focused, consistent work to be kind, be patient, be loving with ourselves and others. This is hard work because we don't have time, we're busy, we're stressed, we're overwhelmed, we're distracted. Working toward equity is the hardest work many of us have ever done and will ever do.
