Taking Stock

Daily writing prompt
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

The default answer is jumping out of an airplane, but that’s too easy. In terms of relevance to the present day, I’d have to say committing to a position on what we see happening in this country right now, and then acting accordingly– whether it’s adding my voice and physical presence to the demonstrations, being ready to defend my neighbors, regularly submitting editorials to the local paper, contacting our Congress members. Just being more vocal and actively involved.

One might think there have already been enough precipitating occurrences and insane verbiage to prompt a response of some sort from just about everybody. Maybe what I’m most scared to do is admit that we’re where we’re at, that we’ve sunk so far, so fast.
