what to do

FOCUS 2017, by Courtney Martin and Wendy MacNaughton


From Brain Pickings Maria Popova’s site:
  ‘With an eye to the various brokennesses of the world, past and present, Toni Morrison writes: This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.
I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge — even wisdom. Like art.’ (‘No Place for Self-Pity, No Room for Fear,’ The Nation, April 6, 2015, p.185)
