LONG POST ALERT🆘🚫On this special day Martin Luther King reminds us all: SILENCE CAN BE VIOLENCE TOO!
STOP DEUX BRANCHES IN NATURE ISLAND🇩🇲🙈🤬
Some have asked: Why is SPEAKING UP NOW? Truth is: Some voices wait decades because they’re meant for such a TIME as THIS MOMENT🌍🇩🇲✨
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, this moment hits differently.
Dr. King taught us that there comes a time when silence is betrayal - when moral responsibility requires voice, not comfort. Nasio didn’t speak for noise. He spoke because the moment demanded it.
That’s why this matters for Dominica.
When Nasio Fontaine speaks now, it’s not commentary: it’s conscience. And he states that clearly.
Nasio has lived largely in intentional solitude for decades. No chasing microphones (and we KNOW he could if he desired🤔). No daily opinions. Just listening, observing, grounding.
So when that man steps forward to speak against mining the mountains of Dominica, it signals a TURNING POINT.
This is what he’s modeling for us 👇🏽
🇩🇲 Moral timing: speak when it matters, not when it’s convenient.
🇩🇲Stewardship: the land is not a commodity; it’s a sacred trust.
🇩🇲 Courage: breaking silence when something holy is under threat.
🇩🇲 Eldership: elders don’t talk often; they speak at crossroads.
Like Martin Luther King Jr., Nasio reminds us that there are moments when staying quiet is more DANGEROUS and expensive than speaking up.
He didn’t come out of solitude for attention. He came out because the mountains cannot defend themselves.
When the quiet ones rise, history is tapping us on the shoulder. Nasio is on the right side of history with this one.
It’s impossible to miss the symbolism of this moment. The Prophet is standing on the mountaintop! Stand UP with Nasio. Call your ministers. Bring food. Send money. Bring water as you drive past. Protect the land. We have options for stones. Lets choose better for ourselves, our future and Dominica💪🏽🇩🇲
