Transcription
Nov. 25, 2017
Weeks gone by. To NYC and back, Thanksgiving, and just not a lot to say.
I have been blanketed with sadness + on the verge of tears for several weeks. The constant, unfolding tragedy on the earth; crime by humans, ferocious fury that Mother Nature unleashes.
I read Joan Didin's book - The Year of Magical Thinking.
