I have no words. Just when I think that the situation here in the US can’t get any worse, this administration proves me wrong with yet another devastating act. I don’t want to say that I have lost all hope for humanity… but I think I am dangerously close. I want to be able to live in peace…. to make art…. to have faith that nature is doing ok, that the earth’s inhabitants are able to survive and thrive… that we, as a race, can contribute positively alongside a safe and healthy ecosystem. … but. We are so far removed from that ideal… that I despair we will ever get there at all. I just…. I have no words. And certainly, no energy, and no creativity. I feel as though I am merely treading water in an ocean of despair.

What brings me joy? Family…. beads/ art….nature (which is hard because I haven’t been anywhere in so long)…and my sweet pup.

… here is a collage of the photos I took this week as part of my ‘snapshot for the day’ project.
