today was one of those days when my heart got all swollen with the weight of the everything. i am one of those suckers who cries in class. but i don't know how else to do it. i'm trying. but i don't understand the inaction of the world, of myself. we are all connected, we are all in this together. and the more i read, the more i see... i feel as if i am just now waking up, as though i am really, truly confronted with everything in ways that i haven't let myself be before.
i have to get to a place where i don't feel alternately crushed and exploding, where i can actually move to make change. who am i, and what am i doing. i don't know how to separate myself from all of this, i take it in and breathe it and everything i see is colored by what i know.
if you can, please observe May Day, on the 1st -- don't buy anything, don't go to work, don't go to class. stand in solidarity with the working people of the world. come down to Casa de la Raza around 10 am, and fight for social justice. 601 Montecito avenue on the east side.
