We need art and joy

[CTyankee]

2. Yes, indeed. In my little home office I have printed out 3 quotes:

"With fear for our democracy, I dissent." -- Justice Sotomayor, Trump vs. U.S.

"Try again, fail again, fail better." Samuel Beckett

"We are the words. We are the music. We are the thing itself." Virginia Woolf

Art reproductions also displayed: Monet "Impression Sunrise," Matisse ," Window at Colliure," Degas "ballet scene," Twombly "Ah, the Peonies,"" and Leonardo's angel from "Virgin of the Rocks" (Paris version).

This keeps me from utter despair. Throughout history, there have been trying times worse than what we are going through now. I feel I have to be grounded in that truth, without lessening my zeal for a BETTER time!
