And they’re off. The teach-in kept me going, I left feeling encouraged and re-energized. So tying my pre-teach-in-reflection with my post-teach-in-reflection I will talk about my race from here on out.
We do not know where the finish line of this race is, but we must keep running, with our heads held high and our hearts pounding passionately because with every step we take forward, we are moving closer to that finish line, closer to a world of justice. We must keep running, knowing that we have the support of our God, our communities, and our brothers and sisters across the nation and world. So we will keep running – strongly and passionately – and we keep taking each running step towards a world of justice.
“We are one body, one body in Christ; and we do not stand alone.” So I will leave this reflection shouting “¡presente!” as I continue running my race. paz, e.
