Onward

What else to say but on we go because we must. We will write in the dark. We will take in all the information and we will despair and rally and despair again. We will pick each other up and in turn as we ourselves fall we will be picked up. We will rebuff cliches and adages and we will then cling to them. Darkest before the dawn and such. Crisis as opportunity. We will question who is we and we will take care of the me, too. We will take care of the you. The stranger. We will hibernate and we will go to libraries and we will say hello and thank you to the staff. We will say hello and thank you to each other. We will read and write and view better smarter journalism. Because the word matters. I don't know about beginnings or first light but I do know about tackling the dark with a symbol.
