It’s summertime.  The world goes spinning on, off kilter.  Over my decades on this planet, it seems that the world has always spun off kilter.  There is good and evil in this world and both push and pull.  I believe good will win out in the end.  I believe in art, education, nature, and the human spirit.  I know these things make life hopeful.  And though, there are many things I can be anxious about right now, I choose joy and laughter.  Summer is here.  I want to face it like I did when I was a young girl, with hope and wild abandon.
