Where there was poverty, there was also a painting someone stared at until it filled them with grateful tears. Where there was genocide, there was a song that refused to quiet. Where a planet was forsaken, there was someone telling a story with their last breath, and someone else carrying it.
Lidia Yuknavitch in “The Book of Joan”
With all the hatred and indifference that has sprung up in society now a quote like this is a breath of fresh air. It shows that no matter how bad things get, there will always be a glimmer of hope.
This quote is for July 01, 2017.
