Today I turned 47. On a walk with my dog, I looked up and the clock said 2:10. One of those quiet pauses where the noise drops out and you feel, just for a second, that you are right on time. I looked at the dog beside me and thought about the wolves her ancestors were. We put leashes on creatures who once walked free, and we call it care. Then we do the same thing to each other. Emotional leashes. Shame. Rules about who is enough, whose pain counts, who gets to be seen. So this birthday is not a spotlight on me. 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝. This day is for anyone who feels lost, forgotten, unhoused, or set aside by a world that moves too fast to notice. If one of us is suffering, all of us are. “Every life matters” is an empty sentence unless we actually love, protect, and stand up for each other. You are not a mistake. You are not broken. You do not have to fit the box to belong here. 𝐖𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭. 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐞. If you feel alone today, I see you. I am celebrating your birth too. Your being here is necessary. Walk with me. No conditions. No leashes. No fear. Who do you want seen today, including yourself? #HappyBirthdayToUs #OneHumanity #loveinaction

Commented on@Adam Weisner’s post I would love to speak with the organizers of this event. Jesus would never have created so many obstacles to attendance. Unreal.
