I posted the picture above on my Instagram today (drawn by the artist Sask), in response to the shooting in Orlando this morning.
I'm not going to take the picture down, but after reflecting a little longer, I wanted to say that I do not feel completely powerless, because:
1. I have the power to keep living my life the way I want to, without being cowed by terrorists who may want me to hide in fear or change my ways of thinking/acting.
2. I have the power to vote for politicians and support public figures who are trying to reduce gun-related violence.
3. I can do something. I can donate money to help Orlando hospitals and people who lost loved ones.
