I don’t know about everyone else, but it’s gotten to the point that I dread looking at the news. I want to be informed and know what’s going on in the world. But there’s only so much unrelenting bad news of people being awful to one another that I can take. Which is why this piece by Ja’Tovia Gary stopped me in my tracks. Care is the antidote to violence. What a profoundly beautiful statement. I hope more people take this to heart, because whether it’s for yourself or for others, we could all practice a bit more care in our lives. I think I might just stick a picture of this piece on my wall as a constant reminder. I’d much rather have the real thing of course. But I’m pretty sure this artist has long since moved out of my price range.
Happy Sunday all. Take care.
