Resistance is futile,
So say the Borg.
For me it is an impassable wall
Keeping me from what I could be.
I lob my grappling hook to the top of the wall
Grasping the rope, I climb my way up.
Like childhood heroes Batman and Robin.
Gravity pulling with each step.
“The Resistance is strong in this one.”
“But I am persistent,” I whisper.
Resistance fighters of World War II,
Like the Underground Railroad,
And Gandhi's March to the Sea
Remind me of small acts of resistance
That made a difference.
What if we use resistance fighting to fight our resistance to take action?
