Campaign Apocalypse

I've just spent a few months following politics online. I have learned a lot of things that I really wish I didn't know. It seemed important, though, to read and explore and gain a better understanding of what is going on in government. Having done that to my satisfaction, I now hope to retire from that effort and restore an order of joy in my life.

I am a creative. I'm a writer, an artist, a poet, a crafts person. I noticed that the more I studied what was going on in the world around me, especially in my own country, the less I created. My sense of hope and enthusiasm began to dry up. I'm not sorry I made the efforts that I did. I felt a responsibility to make an informed decision before casting my vote this fall. I've done that. It's time to play once again. The only way to achieve a happy ending is to practice before it arrives.
