The Fork in the Road

Many years ago, I was in a Table Topic Competition where I had to give a two-minute speech. The topic of the night was "A Fork in the Road". However, I didn't know what the idiom meant. I was still unfamiliar with some of the English language. Being a quick thinker, I used humor and spoke on the fork. I came in second in the competition.

Today, I'm facing A Fork in the Road in my case. Whatever I decide will change the course of my life.

Dear Eddy,

You are on my mind so much, and I know others will say the same. The crazy-making reality of your situation and the "fork" you face are more than most of us can imagine. You have already more than served your time – way more than you would have if you'd been born white, a woman, and/or rich. All I can think is that you are owed reparations, but instead you are facing the prospect of deportation. The Khalil Gibran quote about pain that you posted really resonated with me. As people who are vulnerable, we all do have to know pain. But I think you've already known enough. More than enough.

I'm glad, at least, you finally got some medical attention for your ear.

In solidarity,
adrienne
