thanks given

I’m thankful for so much, but the last couple weeks have reminded me just how fortunate I am. I am not in Yemen. I am not in Syria. I’ve never had a gun pointed at me. For the accidents of chance that made me Canadian and all the other heaps of advantages that have made my life, compared to so many, so easy. For my family. For my true friends and new friends. For my work. For the things that went right and the things that gave me the opportunity to learn.

May I, through my own journey of learning, help others to learn as well. May I leave this world just slightly better off than it was when I arrived. And may the day of that departure be a long, long way off.

Peace.

“I’m seeing all this news lately about women speaking out against these men who acted very inappropriately toward them and the repercussions those same men now face, and I’m honestly scared of what would happen if one day I’m accused publicly by 10 or maybe even more women whom I’ve harassed or assaulted in the past,” said a visibly shaken Trump, adding that the president of the United States was held to a higher standard of conduct and the American people would demand the nation’s leader immediately answer for these disgusting actions, leaving him with absolutely no recourse but to resign from office. “Oh my god, I can’t imagine how bad it would be. The U.S. populace would never stand for something like that. If anything, the country would unite against a serial harasser. I would be raked through the coals for it, shunned forever from public life.” #TheOnion
