Today's the day to celebrate the rebels and outlaws still trying to keep this country wild! I'd like to think I'm one of them, wandering the world, spreading wild seeds and waiting for Spring. In the spirit of the founding fathers, today's a day to do something rebellious. Take a risk! Take a chance of free-living for a moment. Ignore the naysayers. Light your fuse! The only thing you have to lose is your chains! Juneteenth turned out to be a thing this year, and I think that's a good thing. Because aren't we all the same, just yearning for liberation and waiting for Jubilee Day?
Whether you're a Black Lives Matter protester, a gun-totin' white supremacist, or just the kind of person who sits at home, today is a day for taking a moment to reflect on the "Good Fight." Don't let the toxicity of today make you forget what you're fighting for. Times like these are meant to be a reminder that there are still things left in this world worth dying for.
As a wise woman once told me:
"The most revolutionary thing a human being can do today is say, 'No.'"
