Note to Myself No. 6

Right now,

it's hard for me to believe

that there will ever be

civil discourse in the political arena

here in the good old U.S.A.

I have given up on believing

that Trump's behavior will ever be

anything but self-serving and offensive
or that Congress will stop enabling him
and rein him in.

But I'll never stop believing

in kindness, 

in beauty,

in laughter,

and in hope.

We need all of those things in abundance.

Right now.

Every day.
