The Art for Today is: Revisionist History
I owe this one to my brother. He was the one who pointed out this was one of my mother’s great talents. The 180 degree twist. This is how we learned nuances, shades of gray, how to live with ambiguity. To take things with a grain of salt, to not believe everything you read, to be cynical and skeptical, to distrust lawyers and politicians.
There are people who are so caught up in the wrongs of the world that they get themselves into a philosophical depression. The ability to discern grayness has kept me from that kind of paralysis.
“Make thick my blood. I am too full of the milk of human kindness” –Lady Macbeth
