I didn’t do or sketch anything yesterday to observe our
country’s birthday. Indeed, I have lately been so ashamed, disgusted and
outraged by what some fellow Americans are doing that it’s very hard to
be proud. Yes, they are a small minority, and most people are still kind,
generous and considerate. But I did not expect to see so much ugliness to be revealed
in the face of a global health crisis (the story linked above is only one recent example).
Someday, those of us who survive will heal and move on. I
certainly hope to. But I will not quickly forget my stunning disappointment in other
Americans that I have experienced since March.
I hear you. Try to stay positive and focus on the good. BTW, I have been fascinated the past month with your hand drawings. They are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your comments and encouragement! I am getting a bit tired of my hand, and yet I keep finding new things to learn from the drawings, so I keep going.
DeleteSometimes I just sit and shake my head at the behavior of some people. Don't they think about anyone else or the consequences of their actions? I understand exactly what you mean.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing these posted as a group!!
Thanks! I like the progression when I see them in a group, too.
