My good friend Meg reminded me of the astounding photographs that primatologist and author Frans de Waal publishes every day on his public Facebook page. Not only does it have a poem each day that comes to my inbox, it always contains information about the life of one or more well-known writers.
Here’s one thing I can count on every day when I turn on my computer: The Writer’s Almanac.
And so I’ll pass some of these along, in hopes that many of you will add some of your own. And yet, there is only so much we can do, and sometimes one of those things is to provide solace to ourselves and those around us.Ĭoincidentally, I have been asking friends about website/blogs that they count on to make their day a little better. Sometimes the amount of suffering in the world feels overwhelming. If you know my work, you know that I never mention politics, but I find that this is one of the times that world events overshadow everything but the primal reality of being human, and all the good and the bad entailed in our species. First, I want to say that I am so so sorry–to everyone directly involved, and to those indirectly involved and to the entire world community that is trying to find a way to cope with the consequences of evil. It’s been a few days since the bombing in Paris, and yet, of course, it still resides, like a black tumor, inside of my psyche.
