Heading into the home stretch of the Pulitzer Centennial. I pray for focus, intelligence, compassion.
Smile more. Talk less.
Sept. 18, 2016
I think about how tense, cranky, on edge I get when big deadlines or problems are upon me.
The AIDS section at the PMN
The angel book
Peace One Day
Faces of a Plague.
In 29 cities,
when our exhibit at the Women's Museum was cancelled, and there were more.
I want to be different.
Now - moving to last days of Pulitzer Centennial and ongoing work on Piece 24, my nerves are frayed. I see $$. signs in every duplicated effort, every willful not-doing of what I asked.
I vent to people, and it unnerves them and pushes them away. Joe, Kelly, Thel. I apologize.
There has got to be a better way.
What is it?
Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on us.
Sept. 19, 2016
In three days, it will be over. The Pulitzer Centennial. Will it have been worth it? I hope so. There seems to be a hunger for it.
