"You cannot leave. You cannot drop the armor now. Why? Because you
are needed,more than ever. You are mandatory to keep the energy flowing, the karmic vibrator buzzing, to keep the progressive and
lucid half of the nation breathing and healthy and awake and ever
reaching out to the half that's wallowing in fear and violence and
homophobia and sexual dread, hoping to find harmony instead of cacophony, common ground instead of civil war, some sort of shared
love of a country so messy and internationally disrespected and
openly confused it's own president can't even speak the language.
