"People think they don't have to learn,
Because there is so much information available.
But knowledge is more possessing than information.
Only the wise move fast enough."
Lately I've spent a lot of time wondering at how often and how much I've internalized the wrong things. Blatant falsehoods and inaccuracies about my personhood: as a woman, and as a disabled one at that. I struggle with the notion that it's too late to change some vital parts of my internal landscape, in order to embrace the many challenges I believe are still before me. With the new year fast approaching, and a world--and a country--that seems to need us all more than ever, the changes cannot come too soon. I'm grateful to have recognized the need for them, and may I maintain the strength to act upon them, always.
