“Please try again.” I click the squares a little more carefully. “Please try again.” Ugh. I thought this was a CAPTCHA, not “Where’s Waldo?” “Please try again.” I click refresh to get a new slate. “Pick all the squares showing injustice.” Fail. Refresh. “Pick all the squares showing goodness.” Fail. Refresh. “Pick all the squares showing people doing their best with what they have.” Fail. Refresh. The computer sighs. “Pick all the households that have known death.” I’m through.
If this resonates, I’d love to hear from you. A comment, a share, or even just a like goes a long way. Writing into the silence is its own practice, but knowing the work lands makes it easier to keep showing up.
