Sitting with Sadness

It is almost impossible to make sense of Troy Davis’ execution. Instead, as the wisdom from the crunk feminist collective suggests, we can sit with our sadness and use it.

“There is power in my blues (sometimes), untapped potential, reservoirs of resources and creativity.  Maybe instead of chasing my blues away I should invite her in for a while.  Have a cup of hot chocolate or a glass of wine and patiently pay attention to her.  Hear her words, heed her warnings, and listen to her rhythms.”
