What Did You Do?

It’s that time

Marc Elias tries to make clear how serious this moment is for our country. But it’s hard for an attorney, even an excellent one. It’s not their training.

Maybe a storyteller instead. Familiar stories of ordinary people, minding their own business, wanting to be left alone, but reaching a turning point:

THE BELLY OF THE WHALE. The hero completely severs their connection to the “safe” world they left behind. In this stage, the hero makes the commitment to fully engage with the journey and transformation of self.

It’s that time.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Be as serious as those looking to destroy you.
