These are odd, vexing and troubling times.
I’m not sure whether this counts as inspirational; it struck a chord for me tonight, referring to the lives of high school students and teachers since March 2020.
Inspirational or not, it may stop you and make you think.
“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow”
(from Macbeth, spoken by Macbeth)
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Borrowed from The Poetry Foundation
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Yes, that rather says it all and puts me in my place. One of my favorite quotes and relevant in any time…especially today.
