from the mind of critic-3/29/18

From the mind of critic: “If the fog is so thick we can barely see, do we adjust the speed of our steps forward? Do we move faster, because the wind resistance cuts through the fog? Do we move slower, because letting our eyes adjust allows us to cut through the fog? Do we take the fog on a case by case basis, because sometimes it appears thick or thin, but is really the opposite? Whether the fog of stereotypes, institutionalized racism and sexism, 24-7 news, coporate and government overreach, peer pressure, self-sabotage or generational and familial attitudes, it can all obscure a path forward. Which can make it difficult to formulate a strategy that’s in our best interest. Once we realize fog is actually noise meant to disrupt our journey, coming from outside and from within, we’ll see we can turn down the noise simply by critically thinking how we can take care of ourselves, specifically so we can take care of others. Charting a path through the fog is only scary, if we don’t believe in ourselves. The fog in front of us, is only as thick as we allow it to get. We may not be able to discard all distractions and roadblocks, but we can change our reactions to them. Strategy to cut through the fog will work, as long as we’re willing to make adjustments on the ground. When we lose faith in the power of fog, it reveals itself as an illusion.” 🙂
