I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough, it’ll make sense.

A young boy desperately pulling back on a woman’s arm, as she shouts at an impassive police officer.

The photo — one of many from an anti-Trump protest distributed by Getty Images — showed up in People. It popped up on right-wing websites. And it appeared on NPR’s website, with this caption: “A woman argues with NYPD officers as she takes part in a protest against President-elect Donald Trump in New York City.”

The full story is more complicated, says Erin Michelle Threlfall — the woman in the photo.

We are not trapped or locked up in these bones. No, no. We are free to change. And love changes us. And if we can love one another, we can break open the sky.

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”

-Anais Nin

This is my haphazard progress in homegrown rosemary.

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
