Fascinating.
The two most inspirational orations I've heard in recent years have been by young women.
Amanda Gorman at Biden's kick-off.
Taylor Swift and NYU's Class of 2022 send-off.
(I haven't hear much oratory from Greta Thunberg, but she's inspirational too).
There's some great role models out there, especially for young women, and often in unexpected places.
On one of my granddaughters' birthday, and ...
despite ...
toxic ocean sludge,
equally toxic orange buffoon presidential candidates,
balding and lethal dictators,
climate, ecological (and sociological) emergency,
you name it ...
there is great hope.
(Other sheep, not of my flock, comes to mind, and that's important too).
Here's to my daughters and granddaughters and the world they can midwife. (Hey, those with Ys are great too, but they must catalyze a different sub-plot)
