The Year of Reading Women
For my part, I can hardly think of a more fitting start to the much-needed Renaissance emerging from the Dark Ages of 2020 than by committing to a practice which I have previously, woefully neglected: reading women. Inspired in part by the divine Amanda Gorman’s inaugural presentation of “The Hill We Climb”, I had a complete reckoning with myself that it was women, and especially women of color, who delivered us all from tyrannical oppression. I cannot fathom what would have been if a certain orange New Yorker had retained power, but I know that the reason I do not have to try is because of women’s relentless and undaunted passion, dedication, and organization. To thank them as well as I can, to celebrate their invaluable contributions to society, and to nourish my own mind with the amazing lessons and stories they have graced us with, 2021 is the year I gladly commit to reading the marvelous works of women.

The Greatness of a Nation
The sun did not come out on Wednesday, and people had begun to whisper. It was becoming increasingly difficult, for some, to ignore what we saw and what we heard. Nevertheless, today was Thursday, and the sun did come out, as was told to us. I was coming home from work, after stopping at the store, carrying the cranberries and the green beans. The turkey would be almost done by now, I knew. I walked to punch in my code for my building, which was guarded by thirteen armed escorts, and, as per mandate, carried my bags on my left arm in case my right hand was needed for fingerprint identification at any time.
