Amen! A friend just directed me to Substack and there you were! Since my days sitting in your classroom at Westmont College now so very very long ago, Diana, I continue to be grateful to learn from your wisdom and perspective on, well, everything. Hugs from your forever student and big fan! xoxo

I once saw a quote that said great art has the ability to look the harsh realities of life square in the face and yet still inspire hope. Thanks for this.

This Advent I was not able to be with family. I was not able to meet my first Great Gand daughter/hell!

Not for me. I have used this time to MAKE cards for family and friends, decorate my home, give more, and rejoice that I can find ways to respond with love in new ways this year. A sign of hope for me is The election of Biden and Harris and watching who he has selected for his cabinet and finding ways to support the two running for the Senate in Georgia. To me it’s like seeing the star that leads us hopefully two years of promise.

From my own personal journey, I have learned that the darkest night of the soul births the greatest light. It sure feels like hell, and without this complete disorientation we would not emerge different. Trusting the ultra luminous darkness is the safest place we can be.
