My small goal today was to take a 1/2 hour to connect to the world in ways that brought me joy instead of fear, disgust, defeat, and and and. So, I reread Donald Justice’s “Southern Gothic” and I am listening to Dollar Brand & Abdullah Ibrahim Orchestra’s African Space Program (and wow). I am happy to report the joy is still there.
