Life is tough enough -- into the lives of my students come cancers, financial problems, lost jobs, difficult problems with children/parents/spouses, school and learning problems, Veteran's Administration snafus, and every manner of difficulty that can be imagined. And all of those individual problems are exacerbated by living in the era of Donald Trump.
We are and will continue to be "unsure" about whether government is even on our side -- much less "of the people, by the people, for the people." The world and our smaller world is at "six's and seven's." We don't know what tomorrow will bring: war (with North Korea, China, Iran, someone else); an unstable earth (undone by rapidly rising climate change, pollution, instability, catastrophes, and unnamed future events. Life has never felt more like chaos than right now.
Time has "stood still" and has begun to sputter -- if that is even thinkable. Life is looking for its own balance. Resist.
