Nicely said. I feel an urgency to express myself and want that to be through writing as much as art (where I am regaining lost ground but caught up in technique over expression). However, the topics I see as vital to address in these perilous times are fraught, and when an urge arises, I am overwhelmed with fatigue. I'd like to think that's a simple matter of post-COVID recovery. But personal distress over the last three years has lessened my resiliency. That realization is Step One, as they say. So, I focus on action in community to build resiliency on that scale and, happily, that carries me forward. The writing will come, and yours is an inspiration.
Thank you for your kind words. Sometimes race bores me as you know. I wonder why I write every day when I could be splurging on Star Trek or The Twilight Zone or the Why Files or the Lex Fridman podcast. But I feel the calling and create the mental space to follow through. I do feel people in our generation will be gone one day, of course. We can step away from the arena and consume science fiction in our idle hours. Or, we can leave some wisdom behind so that the younger generation will know things were different in the 1960s and 1970s.
My conscience kicks in and I write another day. I appreciate your comment. Keeps me going/smile.
