You're just singing someone

I am not doing fantastically, but I dreamed that I saw rushthatspeaks in the window of a tea shop in a fabulous hat; he came down to the verge of the highway where I was walking and kissed me.

elisem has created a necklace inspired by a photo I took: "The Art That Comes of It." It is extremely hibiscus.

I appreciate the multiplicity of voices surveyed in the twenty stories of New York's "The War and New York."

Amazing to see how elisem transforms the flower!

The necklace feels to me like it's filled with pollen. It's probably the discontinued Swarovski crystal beads.

A dream kiss is a good thing

It's the nicest dream I've had in ages!

So is a multiplicity of voices.

Because I backed into the paper by way of another link, I read most of the articles before seeing the editorial. It closes, "There is a pervasive sense that everyone is hurting, aggrieved, and misunderstood and no longer pretending to share a common reality." I would like to think the sharing of voices helps at least some of the people interviewed feel that they are inhabiting the same world that is acknowledged to exist, even if it can't do much for the pain.

Re: your last remark, I agree. I liked a weekend segment of NPR that featured a number of people who, despite the suffering they've endured in the current war, are reaching for compassion. That sharing of voices felt good to me, and I feel like if they can reach, there's hope.

I like it better than the proposition that empathy is to be avoided at all costs.
