Going through posts I’ve saved as drafts.
Two out of three are about Twilight.
You’re welcome, followers.
To refuse to participate in the shaping of our future is to give it up. Do not be misled into passivity either by false security (they don’t mean me) or by despair (there’s nothing we can do). Each of us must find our work and do it. Militancy no longer means guns at high noon, if it ever did. It means actively working for change, sometimes in the absence of any surety that change is coming. It means doing the unromantic and tedious work necessary to forge meaningful coalitions, and it means recognizing which coalitions are possible and which coalitions are not. It means knowing that coalition, like unity, means the coming together of whole, self-actualized human beings, focused and believing, not fragmented automatons marching to a prescribed step. It means fighting despair.

What part of luck is carelessness for whatever reason? And what part is foreordained?

We’re a week into 2012 and I’ve decided that my mission statement for this year is going to be only one word: trust.
Trust in my ability to make good decisions. Trust in my strengths and in my awareness of my weaknesses. Trust that good things will happen to me.
