The Long Haul
Keep a journal, and don't assume that your work has to accomplish anything worthy: artists and peace-workers are in it for the long haul, and not to be judged by immediate results. . . .
Redemption comes with care. In our culture we can oppose but not subvert. Openness is part of our technique.
