Door Knob, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...

Advertisements [?]

This post is dedicated to a lover I once had -- a devout Atheist -- who chose "Door Knob" as a Higher Power in AA meetings.

Door Knob,

Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.

I'm struggling with whether it is wise to assume I can effect changes within the Democratic Party.

I am not a corporation; not a wealthy donor.
I have but one vote, and I am uncertain whether it will even be counted.
I have no access to the powers that be.

How do we marginalize those who want to marginalize us when we lack the power or opportunity to do so?
