“And what, you ask, does writing teach us?
First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is gift and a privilege, not a right. We must earn life once it has been awarded us. Life asks for rewards back because it has favored us with animation.
So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.”
― Ray Bradbury, The October Country
Been under the weather for a few days now but wanted to at least share a song as is the custom here on Sunday Mornings, along with an image and a bit of writing. I chose the Bradbury passage because I feel in need of some revitalization. I also think we can use a reminder that art has a role to play in trying to maintain this broken democracy cannot be overstated.
I think we could all use a little revitalization about now.
A little hope.
A light at the end of the tunnel. Something to move towards.
Here’s a favorite Neil Young song, Helpless, to round out this morning.
