I'm finding it difficult to rejoice in the beauty around me and rectify the fact we're in a terrible time of history. How do you cope? #Sunday #SundayThoughts #Coping #GlobalSorrow

History is a creation of human beings. Beauty is the manifestation of God. As a human being, I feel I have at least some power to influence history, even just locally. As an artist, I look to God to help me reproduce beauty. That ability can be transferred to influencing history.

I fear losing interest in the world outside my now little paradise and yet cannot entirely lose awareness of the realities of the world around me. I'm social media dieting but bad news always finds us!

Yes, is as everything bad we believed to finally leave behind in the 20th century is making a strong comeback for no reason whatsoever. I try to focus on anything that sends me good vibes — art, nature, friends, well-meaning people that hasn't lost humanity yet.

Don, your plan makes absolute sense to me and it works. However, I also believe a certain amount of awareness with the world around me is a built-in bug/feature. It's why I first fell in love with the World Wide Web! 😀

There is only one direction, fight hate with love. Anti-Judaism is not new, and varies in intensity throughout time. I don't like the German term Antisemitism.

It's hatred at large I'm hating, with all the anti-isms tossed in a big box of fear. Also, you're right re the use of "semite" - it's inaccurate but it's not like that stopped the Nazi Party from making its own rules...

That's me too, especially since moving to a ranch. There's no way I can't rejoice in life when the first thing that happens in my day is being welcomed by PUPPIES! And it's just beautiful here, nature is very good for the soul, I think!
