It's so important to keep resisting, to keep taking a stand, and to never let the madness we're seeing become "normalized". And meanwhile, we're supposed to be writing stories, lol. But yes, whether the stories are a means of escape or a means of engaging, they're so important, so needed! <br /><br />Perhaps I'll try journalling at the start of my writing times for a while, pouring the noise onto the page...maybe that'll either quiet things down enough so I can focus on my writing or rev things up so that the words will catch fire. :)Shari Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495151345889657066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3531497547376416976.post-44052860084031389802017-02-02T16:10:49.748-08:002017-02-02T16:10:49.748-08:00I hear you.

But writers can restore order and hope to a crazy mixed up world. I hope the writers of the world are up to the task. S.P.

And it's also a fateful year for the European Union, what with Germany, the Netherlands and France voting and warnings of voter fraud (not by voters, but by other countries; I guess you know which one I mean) and misinformation, etc. I've never been so interested in politics and have never followed the news so closely as these days. While you're right, it is frightful, the best we can do is to keep ourselves informed and to stand up to what be believe is right. Canada, like Germany is a beacon of light for many in these dark times. And since I absolutely adore the quotes accompanying this post of yours, I conclude with an all-time favorite of mine: "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."
