it's been a while.
i can't help noticing both in myself and the world around me a sort of schizophrenia.
simultaneously terrified - not making enough money - not a whole lot of employment opportunities - watching arts funding decrease daily. terrifying
and at the same time wholly hopeful with the inauguration of Barack Obama on the way.
Is this the state of our generation - confusion? We grew up thinking anything was possible, and at the same time focusing so much of the possibility on how much money we could make. Perhaps it is the vision of possibility that will change with change. Perhaps it will be that the anything in anything is possible is not tangible in the I bought it for x dollars and cents, but it will be everything to see theater, go to a museum, listen to music for extended periods of time not doing anything else but listening. perhaps our priorities that grew up on us will shift because we choose for them to shift.
