Action- and her cognitive companions.
When a driver runs one of the car’s wheels into a ditch, the rest of the passengers, onlookers (if you’re lucky), and the driver (if alive), will generally lift the car up and set it on its path.
If not, well it’s no biggie. The car will happily just sit there.
When we see the earth spinning off its axis, there’s less uncertainty than the simple case of car and wheel.
There is no question about action. It must be taken. Because the alternative - complacency, inertia, and inaction are lethal.
Then again, we ask ourselves- “the earth doesn’t fall off its axis every other day… so how do we take action when we don’t have a guide or example to follow?”
We’ve got to make a promise.
We’ve got to think.
We’ve got to come together.
We’ve got to engage and converse.
We’ve got to lift each other up.
We’ve got to cautiously experiment.
We’ve got to improve and improvise.
And we’ve got to capital ACTION.
I mean to say, we’ve got to “verb” action. Not “noun” it. Because we’ve got to keep doing.
We’ve no choice but to keep showing up for home.
And then, well we’ve got to make sure we keep our promise, and let ACTION and her cognitive companions meet again.
