Gold Hearts Good Hearts

This is precisely the time

when artists go to work.

There is no time for despair,

no place for self-pity,

no need for silence,

no room for fear.

We speak, we write,

we do language.

That is how

civilizations heal.

  Toni Morrison

I'd rather have 

a heart of gold

Than all the treasure 

of the world.

 Ana Claudia Antunes 

As long as the hearts of
decent people are still beating,
hope lives. Put your hand
on your chest right now
and be reminded:
hatred hasn’t won.
John Pavlovitz

From sorrow's soil

Joy can grow

Secret garden

No one knows.

Let's plant our dreams

In this troubled ground,

Raising laughter's

Healing sound.

I believe we will survive these difficult days, the same way we survived the 50s and McCarthyism. At some point in the not-too-distant future, we will clean up the mess made by our current overlords and go forward with a deeper appreciation of both our assets and our defects. In hindsight, we will see that we were subjected to a decade of insanity for a reason. And that reason is so we could evolve. So that we could become better.
