Last year, while the Americans were messing around with their presidential election - not realising how damaging it could be for the rest of the world too, I was in London, immersing myself in the painting of an artist who lived through war and exil, looking for a publisher for my book, then travelling to Belfast to report on the consequences of Brexit on Northern Ireland...
Such a hard twelve-month period since then.
But we are making a lot of progress (look at the previous post).
As all the thinkers, writers, artists, who lived through dark times, I could add, as James Baldwin used to say: "I cannot be a pessimist, because I'm alive".
Some are not so lucky.
May the rest of us realize we need to gather our strength and make this world a better place.
