We should be dancing

smokingbootTo get me out of my funk yesterday I tried to catch up on world events.
This was a very bad idea.
I understand why people send 'thoughts and prayers.' Banal as it sounds, there are times when situations are so appalling an ordinary person feels helpless. The Brute Politic Eye can see the natural trajectory of this, as well as its origin. My mother has sent me a video I won't watch about the final minutes of whatever. 'Look at this,' she says, 'it is terrifying!'
Oh my mum. Don't you live with enough fear?
Exploring, writing and reading, performing, creating art, learning, looking after each other and life on earth, partying, playing. That's our real job and we enjoy it, so how the hell we end up swirling around this plug hole time and time again beats me. I refuse. I will not join the countdown, won't play cruelty's game. We should be dancing.
