Spent the morning shoveling snow with my kid. We talked about how--because the world is increasingly stupid, unkind, and selfish--we need to work hard at being curious, kind, and helpful to others. Even if we're just starting with shoveling the walk for our community.

A quote taken from Ursula K. Le Guin's essay "Earthsea Revisioned" reads, "When the world turns over, you can't go on thinking upside down. What was innocence is now irresponsibility. Visions must be re-visioned."
"Earthsea Revisioned" is included in The Books of Earthsea: The Complete Illustrated Edition (Saga Press, 2018).
