Quiet desperation

"This is not the age of information.

This is not the age of information.

Forget the news and the radio,

and the blurred screens.

This is the time of loaves and fishes.

People are hungry,

and one good word

is bread for a thousand"

                                                     **David Whyte ~ "The house of belonging"

As the world becomes increasingly complex and impersonal, many people lead lives of quiet desperation.  Just getting by, just getting through each day, just hanging on.  The antidote must surely be kindness, connection and words that heal.
