I am not one of those writers who has mastered the ability to write solely from an objective point of view when responding to events in the wider world. In fact, more often than not I write into the dark, trying to follow a thread of feeling towards some reflection that might help illuminate something small about this journey we are all on together. I write, I think, in the hope of lighting up just enough room to see where the next step might be. Because that is often all I think is possible.
