So, if I want to know how I'd have felt about Dr. King back (in the 60s), I can't ask myself how I feel about him now; instead I have to ask myself: How do I feel about Colin Kaepernick now? If I want to know how I'd have felt about the Freedom Riders back then, I can't ask myself how I feel about them now; instead, I have to ask myself: How do I feel about Black Lives Matter now? If I want to know how I'd have shown up in the last civil rights era, I have to ask myself: How am I showing up today, in this civil rights era?
-- Glennon Doyle, Untamed, p. 209
