I agree. Creation is healing, and so is kindness. I’m not seeking out folks across the aisle for conversation, but I intend to continue to try to be kind and empathetic to anyone who crosses my path. It may not help them but I think it will help me.
For the last six weeks or so I’ve been playing the piano two hours a day. During those hours I’m not thinking about any of the things which worry or grieve me, I’m focused on the music and my fingers and remembering how to sight read the notes.
Your art brings joy to so many. I’m glad you keep refocusing on it.
Thanks for sharing, Kerry. I agree with the “not seeking people out for a conversation” part. I am definitely not there (yet) but I do want to continue to be kind to those I interact with. At the end of the day, I have to live with myself and I have a child who is looking up to me to lead by example. I love that the piano is your sanctuary ❤️
Well said. All of us can be united, I believe, under the simple premise: “Just be kind.” Returning back to this basic premise, in my heart and mind, is the only way we right this ship and start moving forward again as individuals, as artists, in our wider communities, and as a nation. ❤️
Good morning. Loved what you had to say this morning. I am struggling a bit as well with many friends that are raging and confused. perhaps punishing me because my views are different. I am choosing to show love and understanding to them and to just give them time to realize I am not a threat personally and I am the same person as before just with differnt views. I sincerly hope this does not alter our friendship in anyway. I will never choose anger with them just understanding their feelings is what I will choose.
