When Bad Things Happen

11/14/2015

I always feel when tragedies like the  terrorist attacks in Paris, or a school shooting like Sandy Hook, or the Twin Towers, that the world will be somehow different, the sun won't shine as brightly, sun rises and sunsets won't be as brilliant, people will care for each other and the world around them more, and yet it doesn't ever seem to really change anything other than the lights of those people who die are extinguished.

When I hear of these events, I feel hollow inside. Sometimes the tears flow and won't stop and other times I just feel numb.

Maybe this is why I read the funnies everyday, to try to start the day with something to smile about. I listen to NPR and hear what is going on in the world, but is it necessary to feel all the bad things happening in this day and age. I find I am drawn to fantasy literature, walking my dogs, watching the cats, seeing a comedy.   Doing things for others.

But there is always knowledge that the sun will come out tomorrow and shine and life will go on, maybe someday better, but it will move on.

    I am a painter of animals. There has always been a connection for me and this is how I share it.
