## Caption

Honestly, I do care HOW you vote, but also care THAT you vote and how you respond to the results of the vote. During this election season, as many of us vote and sit vigil over the next week, I offer this week's Weekly Word with a spirit of foolish hope and audacious conviction. May it help in some way.
 
Vote
In the face of injustice, violence, and pain
I will be heard.

through my marching feet on the peoples' pavements
through my righteous shouts to palaces of unchecked power
through my loving whispers into sorrow-filled hearts
through my co-conspiring spirit amidst a discombobulated world
and through my vote
I will be heard.

While many would hope that my voice, my vote, and my body would
stay home cozied up to apathy
remain silent in the face of violent injustice
abdicate my place in the body politic
give disenchantment the final word
and pass by the ballot box
I will be heard.

My vote will be woven together with others as we choose
to encourage a curiosity of the mind
  over quashing the joy of exploration
to fund social healing of the community
  over protecting tools of captivity
to live compassion and love
  over inciting hostility and hate
to believe in a future of possibility and hope
  over succumbing to cynicism and disillusionment, and
to commit to the pursuit of the common good
  over the preservation of unchecked profits
We will be heard. 

Published on #Patreon each Wednesday AM, each #WeeklyWord is a prayer, poem, or musing usually inspired by the upcoming Sunday lectionary passages for Christian Worship and flavored by current world events or random ideas that the Spirit whispers in my ear :-) 

These prayers are public (Thank you patrons), but if you want to support my time in creating these, please consider becoming a patron if you can. 

As far as usage, feel free to share, repost, tweet, and use as you feel moved. Please do your best to tag me on the socials (@breyeschow on all of them).
