To be hopeful in bad times…


Toni Stone of Wonderworks Studio just emailed me this quote which covers a lot for me..

“To be hopeful in bad times
is not just foolishly romantic.
It is based on
the fact that human history
is a history not only of cruelty
but also of compassion, sacrifice,
courage, kindness…

And when we do act,
in however small a way,
we don’t have to wait for
some grand utopian future.

The future
is an infinite
succession of presents,
and to live now as we
think human beings should live,
in defiance of all
that seems bad around us,
is itself a marvelous victory.”

– Howard Zinn
