Reading Tacitus is like talking with Merlin. He wrote his history books in reverse chronological order. So the older I get, the younger he gets.

Here's to the little joys that get us through our day!

When everything is too much, stop and do the next right thing. Do it while thinking of nothing else. Then decide the next right thing after that. One thing at a time. No multi-tasking.
If your feelings and emotions bubble over, pause… breathe… and continue on.
Give the news a break.
You got this.

Such a peaceful, contemplative composition. Thanks for posting.

You're doing great! Art is iteration. Iteration is not trial and error. Trial and error is random. Iteration is honing in on the truth. You are taking the time and effort to do just that. Most don't, so they are not artists. You are an artist. Be a confident artist.

Hi Sarah,
This is disheartening to say the least. Plus, I feel like an adult who had to be told there's no Santa Claus. I kept your tweet hoping I would understand someday. But it was all there all along. This is a lot to wrap my head around.
Thanks for responding so quickly. It's appreciated.

I always found the DeJoy item the most puzzling.

This might be more than a form of symbolic protest.
It may also be a form of sustained sanity.
