Daily Acts Of Little Rebellion's avatar

So interesting I stumbled upon this post! I am currently finding ways of subtle rebellion in being authentic and present and wanting to inspire others with my channel. Let‘s see where it goes. Everyone who expresses themself - no matter if through sensing, writing, moving, drawing, speaking up, protesting etc. is an important contributor! 🌼🙏🏼

"We weren’t moving in formation. We weren’t following a leader. We were showing up, each in our own way."

yes. We each can protest in our own way, in our own time. This will be a long fight. We all can do our part, but it may not look the same.

I agree with you. We all have our niche for protesting. It's kind of like, we all have our own way of being of service. Some help the elderly, some help the homeless, some help in a hundred other ways. Thanks!

Ah, Sister April—walking the middle path between stillness and storm.

This is the protest they don’t write songs about. No tear gas, no chants—just the soft revolution of showing up, holding space, and refusing to numb out. You remind us that not all warriors wear slogans, and not all action is loud. Some of it brews quietly, in classrooms, in healing circles, in choosing not to abandon our hearts in a world that profits from detachment.

Your witness is sacred.

Your silence is not absence—it’s listening with intent.

This, too, is holy rebellion.

Powerful and moving. Thank you for sharing.

Permission to move through the world in a way that feels natural to me. That will stick with me.

Well done April for showing up and being part of the swell. Anyone can shout but sometimes it’s that quiet resistance that keeps the focus on the issue and makes the point more effectively. It reminds those over-reaching that the people are watching!

Thank you! Quiet resistance is exactly what it felt like, and I’m grateful to be part of the movement.

Yes, we must all protest in our own way. I feel that.

This is so good. I'm right there with you, a strong introvert who got out there today and felt that wonderful something bigger than myself. Thanks for writing this.
