Took part in an attempt at a press conference today, about the cuts to adult literacy, but no media showed, in part because of the disaster in Laval. That event, along with some others, recent and not so recent, inspired me to write my first poem (or piece of creative writing, for that matter) in weeks- could be said to be morbid, but it's true, the end could come at any time. We just can't allow that thought to immobilize us, but rather try to enjoy life while we can. Not always easy, but it's always worth a try- and actually there are many shining moments to be enjoyed, even if they are snatched from the jaws of dark times.
