Goodbye Rosa...

"No"

And the Civil Rights movement had it's catalyst. A simple 'No' from a woman who decided to stop living in fear and start living in grace. All we can control is ourselves. That is a lesson my father taught me. "All you can do it to put yourself out there with as much integrity...as much honesty as possible. What other people do with that is beyond your control."
People were hung from trees for smaller acts of defiance. Burned alive. Even today, the strains of virulent, institutional racism result in a man being chained to the back of a pick-up truck and dragged to his death...in the face of this very real fear Rosa Parks said, "No."

Courage such as hers is rare. It reminds you that there is a right and a wrong and sometimes the wrong has all of the power...the police, the courts, the government...it's just 'the way things are'.

"No"

or maybe she was just tired and didn't feel like explaining herself:)

Stay Naked.
