" Hatred has a way of convincing us that half love is whole... we, all of us, have to fight against performance and lean into participation. We have to be participants, active. We have to be more than audience members sitting comfortably in the stands of morality shouting 'wrong!' That's too easy. Instead we must be players on the field, on the court, in our classrooms and communities trying to do right. Because it takes a whole hand, both hands, to grab hold of hatred. Not just a texting thumb and a scrolling index finger. "
