From my notes last night:

“I can’t give in to depression. Need to stay strong. For the next four years, I must be a bacon of hope for others.”

Every year on 1/17, an announcement in the NYT commemorates the Holocaust hero Raoul Wallenberg, who rescued thousands of Jews, and his chauffeur Vilmos Langfelder. They disappeared in 1945.

Who places these memorials? Who pays for them? It isn’t known.

This is me and Cassie, eight years ago today (I’m the human). That magnificent creature helped me through the last reign of tyranny. She’s gone so now I need to find my strength elsewhere. I need to help, and that means I need to be able to help.

you will never be able to see the world from the perspective of anyone else, not fully

but you can see more than you currently do, if you try

and this effort, this beautiful struggle to comprehend the people who share a world with you —

it’s everything.

Everything.

This is my credo.
