I have yet to think about this deeply enough to relate a story of my own. But I just spent the wee hours this morning finishing reading a historical novel, The Shape of Mercy by Susan Meissner, about the Salem Witch Trials. The main character, Mercy Hayworth, is based on the real story of a the 20th girl who was meant to be hanged in 1692 on September 22. It is a remarkable story about another courageous person (like the Rabbit Farmer in your story) acting with moral clarity, even while it cost them so much. And now, with Mass Deportations threatening us in the US, can I prepare to act on my clarity that injustice towards "others" is mine to respond to as well.
