This is just to say

I'm not doing very well.

I'm crying at work.

Thoughts of miscarriage keep crossing my mind. Not as in, wanting to have one, but as in, how could the baby possibly live through this?

I know that's crazy.

But when the majority of my fellow Americans have given their stamp of approval to the architects of Abu Ghraib, where can I find hope? How can I be a parent in this world?

There is still a lot of beauty and preciousness in the world. I've turned off the TV and put on some classical music CDs, and thinking of walking up the block to my local conservatory to stare at flowers for a while.

I don't even want to bother thinking about how our nation and the world has survived worse. At the moment, I'm needing to focus on the panoply of things that can't be taken away from us no matter what.
