This. Just this.

I’ll be joining friends to march in the Pride Portland Parade tomorrow in support of our LGBTQ community, those so brutally taken from us in Orlando, and all who love them. They will be in our hearts as we march down the main streets of Portland. With each beat of the heart, with each foot step, they’ll be there.  With hearts so full. It’s hard to hold it all, as if our hearts have no choice but to grow larger. But, oh, it hurts.

One year ago today, nine people in a Bible study group at Mother Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC were murdered by a racist, hate filled, man.

No more.  I hear the sound of feet, thousands of feet, striding the pavement. I hear voices raised in pride, anguish, and love. I hear the silences in broken hearts. I hear the courage of so many standing together saying —  enough is enough.
