I respond to the moment, my moment of now.
If my feelings are roused, my thoughts, enlivened, I may act.
If I do not feel, even when a life depends on it, I do not act. Kindness requires I feel. Compassion requires I feel. Love requires I feel. To give requires I feel.
The most I give is my time. Money may be mine or another’s stored time. Give now, save lives.
When the force of nature overwhelms us, we come together. At times the scale of devastation is immense, affecting countless communities, and the impact of each personal experience of trauma lasts a lifetime. What possible help can art be in a period of urgent practical need?
Food, water, shelter, and medical care are vital for survival, together with those things that inspire and raise our spirits. Each day, somewhere, where tragedy unfolds, art has the capacity to nourish hope.
When we give, we grow. When we share, we thrive.
Art is at its best when within reach of the many.
William Shakespeare
A place where one fresh thought is presented every day.
Think This Today is the creation of Mike de Sousa, an artist, writer, and composer.
