love has never been a popular movement

There is still a lot to say. But you don't need any more words from me today. So, I am just going to ask you to please, please vote.

Saeed Jones is a great social media follow. He's an even better writer. Today, I'll be sitting with one of his books, Alive at the End of the World.

Last week, I went to my neighborhood Episcopal church. It'd been a while since I sat in a pew. I guess I am still coming to grips with the spaces between religion and what I can see out of the corner of my eye.

Still, I am grateful I went. A visiting Baptist pastor delivered the sermon. He shared one of my favorite quotes from James Baldwin. I bowed my head and wept with relief. As long as James Baldwin is being preached from a pulpit somewhere, the possibility of something better feels...almost tangible.

Here is a video of that quote, followed by another James Baldwin statement I will hold onto - no matter who wins.

I'll check in on you tomorrow,

“The day will come when you will trust you more than you do now, and you will trust me more than you do now. And we can trust each other. I do believe, I really do believe in the New Jerusalem, I really do believe that we can all become better than we are. I know we can. But the price is enormous – and people are not yet willing to pay it.” - James Baldwin
