I am caught in the miry deep of much work this week and last — and so here I am, trying to escape, only to get blogged down.
(That is not entirely my clever pun… You’ll have to visit my mother’s blog at cynthiagustavson.modblog.com and read her first entry to understand that pun’s history!)
I am not disheartened this week. I really thought I would be — because I have often been the last several months.
I read the New York Times every day, and rather amusingly dissect it with my dullened scissors, searching for articles that I need to process… and my blog is the place that I process most of that, while (hopefully!) at the same time, somehow communicating with folks about my fears, angers, hopes and loves…
I wasn’t disheartened this week also because of a blog I read at my good friend Jeshua’s site — jeshuaerickson.com/blog — He talks about hope… And I feel like I have the right to be hopeful. And I am hopeful…
This was the week of the Bono-Bill Gates-Bill Clinton symposium on Africa’s poverty. This was the week of Iraq’s election. This was the week of true possibilities for reconciliation between Palestine and Israel.
Here’s to hope.
G’night.
