You know that  jacket you’ve always been so proud of..

the one slung  jauntily over your shoulders …

the one whose shadow blackened early morning grass blades? 

# Me too 

I finally got around to looking into what all the Epstein fuss was about this morning…. I had been avoiding it because I didn’t want to be triggered.. because with the political unrest in our country I didn’t want to take sides.. to judge.. because although I stand for certain issues.. I didn’t want to get pulled into the crossfire between right and  left… because what with all the drama that came against me  the last couple months.. I just wanted peace.

But this morning during prayer it was impressed upon me that it was time to open my eyes.. . What was this Trump and Epstein business? What exactly did Epstein do? Was there any truth in the accusations against Trump? And  I came to this.. having been falsely maligned recently.. I am more than aware of how people can and do lie about others to protect or advance their own interests. Is Trump innocent? I don’t know. Is he guilty ? Not mine to say. 

But I will weigh in on this. As a survivor of sexual abuse I found some of the testimonies and Epsteins guilty verdict… first very triggering and then very healing.. 

And like millions of others in the country I want to say, the voice of the victim needs to be heard. Their healing.. needs to commence.. their feet need to find rest amongst forget me nots basking in sunlight.

And I have personally learned … that the truth really does set one free.
