There have been many moments, in the past couple of days wherein I’ve had lots to say about proceedings and many moments when there simply have been absolutely no words, and I have basically been ricochetting between those two points.
Much to your relief, I’d imagine, I’m not going to recite a laundry list of grievances here about the election results. If you’ve been paying any attention at all, you can probably surmise how I’m feeling. As of right now, the sheer enormity of our new reality overwhelms me. I’m dead-certain that as we progress – or should that be regress? – I’ll have plenty of things to say, but I’m finding my inner wellspring of incredulousness, frustration, disappointment and dread very hard to accurately encapsulate into words, at this moment, so I’m not going to try. There are plenty of people expressing themselves far more eloquently already.
I don’t imagine many of you come here for that sort of stuff, anyway. While I purposely keep this blog topically open-ended, I tend to routinely focus on certain things, and I don’t think my political insights, observations and opinions are really the stuff that generate the most clicks, so to speak, so it’s probably no great loss.
By the same token, all my usual predilections seem completely trivial, right now, so it might be a hot second before I have anything to offer here.
I’m sure I’ll re-find my stride, so please be patient and bear with me.
