I Am Your Neighbour
I Am Your Neighbour
I am so horrified about what we do to people in the name of (put name of conflict/issue/idol here). I have no idea what it takes to make a mind take up actions it takes up. I struggle with the level of permissions we give ourselves when we inflict what we inflict.
Yet here is this young woman, like any neighbour we might have, forcing us to see the consequences. I had to make real fencing, real wires, real nails…
I do hope she makes us see more clearly.
