Sustaining Momentum
I've been involved in youth justice issues for more than 20 years now, and one of my most important lessons came from Dr. Vincent Harding, historian, theologian, strategist, and encourager.
Dr. Harding points out that we who work for youth justice are "citizens of a country that does not yet exist."
This is what makes everything so hard, and feel so backwards sometimes.
We make great plans, and then nothing happens--or nothing seems to be happening.
But it's really an illusion that nothing seems to be happening.
