The last two days were derailed by the heaviness of the world.
Today's piece is a reflection on recent news, the terrible dread of waiting on wartime escalation, the heartsickness of seeing how people rationalize atrocity, and the hard fact that this is just how humans have been for almost 3,000 years of written record.
We keep trying to do better not because it's easy or even likely, but because "trying" is only human, too.

Thank you for sitting with me in the grief of it all, Luce. It's a little more manageable when we know we're not alone.
@MLClark I often wish I could process my grief as something constructive. It just comes out as anger most the time.
