Some Thoughts On Mercy
Ross Gay | The Sun
This essay was published in The Sun in July 2013 by poet and professor Ross Gay. So relevant tdoay. A beautiful piece.
When we have mercy, deep and abiding change might happen. The corrupt imagination might become visible. Inequalities might become visible. Violence might become visible. Terror might become visible. And the things we’ve been doing to each other, despite the fact that we don’t want to do such things to each other, might become visible. If we don’t, we will all remain phantoms — and, as it turns out, it’s hard for phantoms to care for one another, let alone love one another.Why I Fear For My Sons
