If you can imagine something, it could happen. This applies equally to events of both beauty and terror.
Imagination begets hope, and hope begets action.
If you can imagine the end of genocide, colonialism, capitalism, they could end — if we work towards that goal.
If you can imagine world peace, taking care of the environment, and of all humans and animals, then it could happen, if we dare to hope and work towards it.
Back in the day, people could scarcely imagine equality for women or LGBTQ+ people, but now they’re much closer to reality. We also couldn’t imagine rights being taken away, but they have been. We need to work to protect the rights we have, too
I highly recommend reading Rebecca Solnit’s book Hope in the Dark.
This post was inspired by a post from Juliet Diaz about an alliance of Indigenous Peoples around the world calling for a ceasefire in all the current genocidal conflicts. If you can imagine something, it could happen.
