Volunteer Texas Wild Hunt county tomatoes
I stand for peace.
I stand for the same rights for all people.
I stand for the children and the widows and the homeless.
I stand for differences bring not only OK but celebrated.
I stand for choices
And I do it at home.
Each time I …
play music,
work in my garden,
say hello to my neighbors,
try a new recipe
taking all this to the library and teaching people it’s OK to drop and pick it back up. I take it to the community garden and work and say, “Here’s an easy plant to grow.” or “Here’s a native tomato. It’s little but it packs a lot of flavor. And this year the tomato plants in my back yard are all volunteers. They grew on their own.”
And like a ripple in a pond, the effects of my protest will continue to spread and change lives.
Quite and peacefully.
