Some Good News

“They don’t publish the good news. The good news is published by us. We have a special edition every moment, And we need you to read it.” Excerpt from Thich Nhat Hanh’s poem, “The Good News” You should really look up this poem and read it… it’s really great. Especially for these times we’re living in. I don’t know about you, but with all that’s going on in the world, in our country, in our communities… it seems like the good news is getting harder and harder to find.  I like to stay informed, yet when the morning paper comes and it hits the kitchen table, everything in that front section seems to scream BAD NEWS!!   It’s not exactly a great way to start the day.   Covid-19, killer hornets, racially fueled violence, warnings that if we don’t do something soon, the Earth’s temperature will get so hot that it will be inhabitable… probably in my lifetime, and certainly in my kids’. Yes of course, it’s a journalist’s duty to report the facts.
