In the current political climate in the United States of America, I often feel ashamed, angry, frustrated and repulsed. I joined a group of resisters in my community; I often feel that I am not doing enough. Exhaustion at the sheer weight of the dilemma makes me want to pull my head in, if I was a turtle. I am not a turtle; I'm a feeling, breathing, living and loving woman.
Here are some things that I'm doing. I call my representatives when I can. I add my name to petitions. I make art. I dance. And I send my positive energy into the world to help set a new course for myself and encourage others.

"Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark."
Agnes de Mille
