[FRIAM] Fwd: Important Article

[George Duncan]

Thanks, Frank. For pointing us to this brilliant article by Anne Applebaum.
I just read it and seem to have succeeded in posting it to by Facebook page
where it should be readable. I am struck by her final paragraph
I leave anyone who has the bad luck to be in public life at this moment
with a final thought from Władysław Bartoszewski,
<https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/28/world/europe/wladyslaw-bartoszewski-polish-auschwitz-survivor-who-fought-for-jews-dies-at-93.html>
who
was a member of the wartime Polish underground, a prisoner of both the
Nazis and the Stalinists, and then, finally, the foreign minister in two
Polish democratic governments. Late in his life—he lived to be 93—he summed
up the philosophy that had guided him through all of these tumultuous
political changes. It was not idealism that drove him, or big ideas, he
said. It was this: *Warto być przyzwoitym*—“Just try to be decent.” Whether
you were decent—that’s what will be remembered.

My art theme: Dynamic exposition of the tension between matrix order and
luminous chaos.

"Attempt what is not certain. Certainty may or may not come later. It may
then be a valuable delusion."
>From "Notes to myself on beginning a painting" by Richard Diebenkorn.

"It's that knife-edge of uncertainty where we come alive to our truest
power." Joanna Macy.
