About every two weeks, since 2011, Carolyn North has written a brief piece- like a prose poem-about the state of the world through the lens of her daily life. This latest of three volumes covers 2018-2022. Her purpose has been to tell the truth as gently as possible, and to point out the positive, hopeful aspects of what is happening in the world, reassuring us all-starting with herself-that with creative imagination and love for one another, we can work at making inevitable changes lightly enough to laugh at some of the painful absurdities we find ourselves in.
