I haven’t felt like writing much in my blog these days. I keep writing my fiction for it’s an escape, but I don’t want much to do with reality these days. My heart breaks as I feel the anger, the pain, and the polarity in the rhetoric of our media and our society. I am appalled at who and what our society casts into the limelight. Yet, I cannot abandon or turn away from my country in this time. There is good growing despite the bad. Like a flower finding a way way to grow through a crack in concrete, love will find a way to win. It is through art that we can sing our song to the world. Whatever gifts you have – writing, encouraging, cooking, building, thinking, inventing- use them in this time of darkness to love your neighbor, to spread light, and to never give up on your ethics. Happy holidays, dear friends!
A quote to inspire you when you feel stuck or down:
“It may be that when we no longer know what to do,
we have come to our real work
and when we no longer know which way to go,
we have begun our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.”
― Wendell Berry
