Freedom

Above Little Tuscany, we perched on boulders with a view of the Coachella Valley.
A warm breeze whisked away sweat beading along my spine as mini light shows 
dotted the horizon. 
It was a spectacular view but a bittersweet reminder of the complicated nation we live in.
It's difficult to celebrate independence and freedom when we are a country congested with inequality.
As a woman, I had more freedom at the beginning of the month than I do now.
We are going backwards, held hostage by a conservative majority committed to holding onto 
their white privilege and greed.
These united states have weathered storms in the past, but this feels particularly ominous.
I fear it is going to get bleaker before it gets better.
