Grand Jury

Grand Jury

Vivian called yesterday. “Grand Jury is convening tomorrow can you come with me?”It is my only day off to fine tune some of the acting work I am doing and to prepare for the grueling work this weekend which always takes me deep until Monday to complete. I had a lot to do but decided to go with her & boy am I glad I did. She was shaking with fear. She held my hand and arm and sat close too me. I was not allowed in to the court room but I waited outside the door and Held her up as her legs felt weak today. There were police officers with guns on their hips, snitches and stool pigeons hoping to testify in order to get a lighter sentence. This is not a place I would like to have to go to. As I sat to get my thoughts together I realized that our world & our society is fragile. We can only combat the hateful behavior by loving act by showing up and being present with our hearts & minds fully aware and ready to be used by God. He cannot use us if our word is weak. Thanks God I made it thank God this is now over thank God for His protection and for our protectors. May the predators and drug addicts be transformed. Say a prayer for my friend. Vivian at 87 is vibrant but to see her trembling really is a shame and a blemish on the people we say we want to be!
