I know it’s not everything, but it’s something: how each of us, in our little spheres of work & community, can help foster & sustain places of care, decency, & intelligence even when powerful people celebrate venal, coarse, mendacious practices. What a gift, to be able to do something so worthwhile

Yep, exactly. The only thing individuals can do in these situations is to make their spheres of influence just that much better. We must all be the Kermits we wish to see in the world.

Oh, this speaks so deeply. Makes me think of beautiful quote from Nobel Prize-winning chemist Ilya
Prigogine: "When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order."

Translated by an afficianado... of chemicals.

Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise just a little sand
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child

And this: “If destructive forces are building under our lives, then our work in this time and place…is to create refugia of the imagination. Refugia, places where ideas are sheltered and encouraged to grow. Even now, we can create small pockets of flourishing…” 1/2

“….and we can make ourselves into overhanging rock ledges to protect life so that the full measure of possibility can spread and reseed the world. Doesn't matter what it is, I tell my students; if it's generous to life, imagine it into existence. " 2/2

It’s true. We all have a role to play, no matter how big or small. Even a kind gesture is enough.

🩵🩵 I love this and feel it too. I wish I had found your account sooner.

I’ve been ranting that we are ALL part of this social fabric. Our own actions of kindness and idealism *can* counteract what’s happening on a national scale. In fact, it’s our duty to try.

Well-put. #following

Also, this is a “little” part of what I’m doing to have us better informed in this asinine journey we find ourselves on…
