Often it is brevity that sticks, that resonates, that captures the essence of a moment. I muse joyfully on moment’s from Friday night’s rally at Dover’s Henry Law Park where those gathered were asked to provide one word that captured their reaction, their why for coming out to discuss, to listen, to react to the overturning of Roe Vs. Wade.

Below are their responses.

Pete Bixby, 61: Fairness

Eleanor Bolker, 18: Fear

Jessica Bolker, 57: Scared

Kylie Venable, 31: Rage

Kendra Venable, 33: Disappointment

Jessica Toomey, 25: Pro-Choice

Abigail Henderson, 25: Human Rights

Alisa Eaton, 25: Freedom

Dameillia Russell, 24: Freedom

Diana Andersson, 75: Anger

Margot Erdmann, 47: Seething Rage

Greta Erdmann, 13: AbortionRights

Mandy Walters, 32: Rage

Colleen Reilly, 30: Solidarity

Elaine Thorpe, 65: Heartbroken

Lye Rutman, 39: Equality

I muse joyfully on your word around this stunning development. Do share, musers. Thank you.
