Do Not Be Dismayed



                                          Lake in the Bois de Boulogne, Henri Edmond Cross

 

“Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world.

All things break. And all things can be mended.

Not with time, as they say, but with intention. 

So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally.

The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.”

L.R. Knost


(I’m reading about the history of Paris & the Dictator Napoleon is mentioned. What a spiteful, inhumane little man. But, do you know what he loved? Green spaces, wide streets, flowers everywhere. He even finished the languishing Louvre. Acres of parks don’t cancel out horrific acts against protestors. However, they do co-exist in our historical record, with thousands of examples of this dichotomy.)
