Occupy

When this movement began here in the US, I had no clue as to what the movement was about.  I thought it was in protest of where our country was going with the present system in place.  I still believe that however it IS much more.

I occupied a street corner for a bit on a Saturday in the beginning of the movement.  There was positive response from most of those who passed us – even an offer of legal advice from an area attorney.  It made my heart feel good to know that regular folks understood why even though for their own reasons they could not do the same.

I have not participated since that time; personal reasons other than what the movement is about prevented me from walking and standing for long periods of time.

So I began being a participant online.  I forwarded emails and information.  I reposted pertinent information on social media.

Most importantly, I have listened to their words and looked for myself at those things they were saying.  I have found no untruths in what I have been able to read on or see publicly displayed via media online, through television and of course, the written word through a credible source.

This is big trouble for everyone.  A cure for the problem would be impossible to administer with one fell swoop.  It is something that each and every person will have to address to the best of their abilities every day – relentlessly.  We can change things.  We can make a better tomorrow for all living things  But the movement isn’t out on wall street or main street; it is within each of us.  It’s time.
