The flickering lights
by digby
I want to thank everyone one last time for donating to my holiday fundraiser. I truly appreciate your contributions and your very kind words as well. It gives me strength and determination going into this next, scary year.
The challenges are immense and we have to choice but to meet them. A lot of people have been sharing this Hannah Arendt quote which seems just right for the moment:
“even in the darkest of times we have the right to expect some illumination, and … such illumination might well come less from theories and concepts than from the uncertain, flickering, and often weak light that some men and women, in their lives and their works, will kindle under almost all circumstances and shed over the time span that was given to them.”
Thanks to all of you, together we will try to shed some light and hopefully illuminate this time just a little bit.
Thank you again. It means more to me than you know.
Happy New Year!
