I need to do something more

I need to do something more than read the newspaper, listen to the news, sit in on conversations, about things that are happening in our country with this new administration.   I attended a gathering with a thousand other people to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the opening of the Japanese internment camps.  It was focused on 'never again' shall this happen in our country.  I am sad, angry, and anxious.  I want to do something but have not found a place to land.  I cannot sit idle and do nothing. 

I draw a picture of how I feel - Dark chaotic squiggly clouds in the sky.  Underneath are brown lines forming a lifeless barrier.  Beneath that are green blades of grass.  And beneath that are dots of bright spring colors hiding underneath the grass afraid to come to the surface.
​
When I draw a picture of finding my voice around all of this, I see a kind of cone swirl much like a tornado.  I am standing at the bottom - the narrowest part - looking up into this massive funnel.  I can see the wide open top but have a lot of layers to move through before I can get there.
