Morning news: Renaissance Park and city officials met last night to discuss the expansion of businesses on Main Street; Community Crisis Center fills void in mental health treatment; Trever Chick, who was hit and killed in a traffic accident on Monday, organs will be donated.
New beginnings on many levels. The news can be uplifting, even in a tragedy, if you will allow it to be. An article in the American Prospect on The clear Eyed Utopianism of Ellen Willis seems to underscore this; "I think there's no such thing as too much freedom—only too little nerve," she once wrote. We need to have the courage to advocate for our freedom.
And a little wisdom from the old bard himself, Leonard Cohen, "if you don't become the ocean you will be seasick everyday". So learn to roll with life's happenings; the alternative seems to be unhappiness............
