I'm having that kind of trouble at the moment with the war. I hate it, it makes me sad and angry, but I am spending way too much time on the news channels watching it with a kind of horrible fascination, reading about it in the papers, reading the war threads on Mudcat, and our last two Friday night singing sessions have had far too much time spent talking on that subject and not enough time singing. It's obvious I'm not the only one afflicted that way.
I have to force myself at times to leave it all, go outside and remind myself that the world is still turning, the trees and birds and my garden are still there, and there are still beautiful sunsets.
