The Webs We Weave

Halloween 2020
finds our country in
the middle of
a particularly 
scary
political season.

There's plenty
of fear to go around...

Fear of COVID-19,
Fear of economic uncertainty,
Fear of climate change, 
Fear of election results,
Fear of political unrest...

Fear of each other.

The impending
presidential election
is making many of us,
along all parts
of the political spectrum,
 anxious.

It's easy
to let ourselves
spin
out of control
with worry.

Let's not let
ourselves
get
tangled up
in
each other's 
sticky
social media
webs
of
misinformation
and
insults
and
distrust.

Let's try
to keep our
fears in check
through this
election week
and then focus
on
weaving
a different
kind of
 political climate
in the future
together.
