I saw this quote today. It crystalized a thought I have had for some time for the people of Pine Ridge and the other reservation communities of the northern plains. This quote also speaks to the one concern I have had surrounding the protests at Standing Rock. More broadly, I think this quote is applicable to all humanity…
The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.

A worthy thought, Kevin. So many of the social issues we think we must address in this country would simply evaporate if we could all “snap a chalk line” and move forward together – without dredging up and giving distorted life to injustices from another generation that lived in another century. Thanks. Merry Christmas, shipmate.
