Had a fun conversation with Kennedy re: a quote she emailed me a long time ago. I keep it in my bill box, so sent her a picture of it. She sent me a new, really great quote. "Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it." Kennedy said "I feel like it could be interpreted in a thousand different ways, but it reminds me to acknowledge the issues around me while still working to build myself, and everyone around me to a point where those issues can be be openly addressed. I believe I read the quote in an "Ask Me Anything," with a social worker, so I figured if it kept her sane, I should try it out.
