“I began a new project: a photo-essay about the Occupy Wall Street movement that was overtaking Manhattan. Inspired, I snapped hundreds of photographs, wanting to document this singular moment in New York’s pulsing body, watching people flooding the sidewalks like human rivers, converging at the green park as one ocean. I took shots of the sharpest signs and strangest masks; the angry bankers in their crisp blue button-downs; the lines of bored-faced cops, slouching with thick arms crossed. And peering through my viewfinder, I learned the skill of noticing more deeply; I felt a thrill—a new civil affinity budding in my dreams and in the brick-and-mortar city, simultaneously: that we, the people, were awakening to the truth that a bundle of twigs is inconceivably strong.”

“Procession by Stewart Stafford

Stop me carrying the burden alone,
For I cannot bear the crushing weight,
Put your arm around me as I reciprocate,
Together, we will walk the needed steps.

If our shoulders shudder, we will steady,
You will help me as I will help you,
Together, as one, we shall go forward,
One foot in front of the other.

When the strain grows too great,
We will lay our mighty cross down,
An altar coffin, and genuflecting,
Rejoin the mourning congregation.

― Saul D. Alinsky, Reveille for Radicals
