Dear Friends,
“We need hope, or else we cannot endure.” ~Sarah J. Maas
Almost everyone I know is working hard to balance fear and hope. As unimaginable headlines roll in, the ground seems to crumble a bit more. I resolve not to give in.
Check out “Hope Machine,” a wonderful song by The Okee Dokee Brothers. This homage to Woody Guthrie’s journal entry resolving to “work more and better, wash teeth if any, and change socks” is all the better with a clever video.
Talk about perspective! Watch “To Scale: TIME”
A blessing for those who keep watch over the sick
Flight of the Bumble-Bee for two Double Basses

This from The Okee Dokee Brothers: “What’s a Hope Machine, you ask? Well, everybody has to reach down deep inside to find out. Now’s a good time for that.”
Exactly, Joy
