Say Her Name...

I got really upset (again) the other day, when someone in the Travesty of Justice department stated that the officer convicted in the raid that ended Breonna Taylor's life should serve "one day" in prison. I can't fully explain the depth of my anger, disappointment and rage on this and so many other things going on at this moment in time. I guess that is why we have music. 

Anyway, I was SO angry, I wanted to break something. I raged on Facebook, then remembered the public art piece down the street. So I went and placed some flowers there. I felt a little sense of relief. And gratitude for all the people in my community who made that happen, starting with the person who wrote Breonna's name in chalk on the concrete. 
I wish you love and peace in your heart and life. And art. And music. And whatever brings you joy, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.
