My farewell to DU [View all]

Folks,

I am leaving DU. I appreciate the valuable distractions this place has provided me, but I have decided I am breaking up with all forms of social media as I enter the next decisions of my life.

These next few years are going to be brutal. And I encourage everybody to remain vigliant in the face of adversity -and let's face it: pure stupidity.

But alas the words by Aeschylus as remembered by RFK on the night we lost MLK persist:

"Even in our sleep -pain which does not forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart.
Until, through our despair, against our will, comes wisdom
By the awful grace of God."

I hope that you can use your strength and wisdom in these hard times to deliver -in whatever way you can, for yourselves and each other, the change this world needs.

With Love, In Strength And In Solidarity,

-Colin
