Just the right balance of facts and analysis. So skilful a narrative that points out out what matters and how we can use our attention to confront scenarios for the future that need attention right NOW. Respect and responsibility have to start right now to enable the future to be good enough to survive. And if we make the best choices we can make a future where we will not mourn the good old days but thrive in the good new days. Attention must be paid. Actions speak loudest. Do what matters most….most of the time for more of us.
"You see something that needs protecting, and you protect it. You see someone trying to carry something heavy, and you pick up whatever portion you can manage."
THIS.
THIS is why there are so many people on earth. It is the most important thing there is.
Shanley, the way you weave eternal truths into your family stories is both brilliant and beautiful. I love the picture you put in my brain of Ezra handing Mommy the little boxes to put inside the big box. You are an amazing mom, as well as a wonderful writer.
THANK YOU. The last two weeks have been heavy for me, and you picked up the portion you could manage, with just your words.
Thank you, Shanley. A lovely weaving together of strands. You are so gifted.
Aah, Dire Straits; I remember being at a classic car meet in the UK when 'Brothers in arms' had just been issued. As I walked down the rows of cars, almost every cassette player (those were the days before CDs), was playing that album, I love them still.
