Nine days

I love the arts.  I’ve been engaged with our local film festival for years.  I would buy a pass and attend the shows, while my oldest was the event photographer.  I was always inspired by watching the under-the-radar selection of movies that might not always make it to the coast-to-coast big screen.

Hope

Hope.  It is such a little word with such big consequences.  It allows us to see tomorrow as another day, another chance, another chapter, another path.

We hope that things will work out, that things will get better, that things will go back to normal.  Whatever normal ever was. Continue reading
