Crossing the 'Border'

On my way to volunteer in Calais. A way for myself not to dissociate and continue being passive to the chaos of the world at the moment - the chaos that our little island is fuelling, seemingly without a thought to the victims of our actions. I feel ashamed. As much as #NotinMyName applies to me, I can feel myself easily becoming a bystander, doing nothing but feeling helpless and overwhelmed and consequently continuing my life as normal, ever aware of how mundane some of it is in the context of all this hatred and desperation. I've decided to stop praying for humanity and start acting for humanity.
