Day Thirty Four

I made a new sign.

Resist! wasn’t working for me any more.

It just seemed too obvious.

Like I was patronizing the public or something.

“Tell me something I don’t know.”

Nobody says Resist! like Trump.

Holding a sign seemed redundant.

I’d say I decided on Together is Better, but there was no decision.

It was like something told me to make a new sign and have it say THIS,

and so that is what I did.

I see it as being post problem,

moving on to the solution.

I debuted the new sign yesterday in Montclair,

at the Bloomfield Ave and Park Street location.

I wanted to do my solo thing instead of the group Sunday at Three gathering a block down the road.

Not in opposition to,

but rather demonstrating a different way that perhaps makes it more personal, at least it does for me.

I believe that individual local creative expression is what will change the world from now.

As it turned out, this day was Mother’s Day.

I found it to be a good sentiment for the day.

It seems a mother’s nature to have the kids get along.

I was curious to see how the sign would go over, as it is clearly not taking a side.

What I experienced mostly, felt like sighs of relief.

Enough with all the hostility.
