Time Passage— Coming to Kada Gallery, November 4
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
–Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard’s Almanack
Been sitting here for way too long this morning, trying to figure out a way to properly express both my despair and anger at the rising tide of hatred we have experienced in recent days in the form of physical violence, intimidation, and multiple examples of public expressions of racism and antisemitism. The specter of fascism seems as near as and much scarier than Halloween.
But for today, I am going to be still and abide by the words of Poor Richard. Maybe gain a bit of peace for to call my own.
For this week’s Sunday musical selection, here’s a peace offering– literally. It is a song from the ultra-talented Rhiannon Giddens with her banjo called Peace Offering.
