actions i've taken this year (besides voting)
 i'm participating in a group project
 organized with 60 participants
 from across the country

  1. Oh Velma - I love this! How grand, I particularly love that artists are making things with messages of peace and triumph over hate and sharing them with the world - so good to see, so positive!!!

  4. these words calling out from the heart of these ominous dark days mesh with reading "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott from p104-
    "... I used to think that paired opposites were a given, that love was the opposite of hate, right the opposite of wrong. But now I think we sometimes buy into these concepts because it is so much easier to embrace absolutes than to suffer reality. I don't think anything is the opposite of love. Reality is unforgivingly complex."
