Oh the wonderful things my daughter says. We were having a very intense (pleasant, not contentious) discussion on a topic both confounding and current, when she summed up the situation in fabulous fiber artist form.

Facts – Adjust to Them
Trying to ensure no one is made uncomfortable seems to be at the heart of everyone becoming less comfortable. Maybe we should support fact and encourage people to adjust.
Discomfort can be the motivator of positive change.
Change may take time, but discomfort encourages its continual pursuit.
Saith Me… Make Tomorrow Better
Regardless of if the event is positive or negative, rather than longing for the past, we should strive to make tomorrow better.

Saith Me… Good Intentions
Good intentions do not justify bad actions. Neither will they absolve accountability for the harm that is done.
Saith Me… Comfort
The independent, self-sufficient soul may seldom need physical help during a trial, but comfort and compassion rarely get rejected.
Saith Me… Drop of Kindness
A little drop of kindness helps more than all the floodwaters caused by the unkind.
Floods simply get more attention.
Saith Me: A Timeless Condition
It seems to be a universal and timeless condition to desire being told what to do rather than taught how to do it.
Despite declarations to the contrary, humankind does seem to like the quick solution of being told what, when, and where to do something – and what to think.
Saith Me: Taming Fear
Living for today while being afraid of tomorrow isn’t really living. In its own way, it is hiding from the realities of our own fears or the fears of others.
Facing our fear and learning to master it, or at least tame it, allows us to embrace the joys of life and accept the sorrow that is an inherent part of living. Fear, when tamed, becomes the caution that makes the journey open to more joy and less sorrow.
Saith Me… Not Necessarily Nice
Kindness is not necessarily nice, but striving to be kind is much more virtuous that merely being nice. Truth can be kind, but truth is often not nice.
