Does it seem sometimes that the world is just becoming more and more bizarre?  No?  It’s just me then.  The horrors we see being perpetrated around the world on one hand vs. the insanity of celebrity culture that seems to consume our media and our brains.  In these collages by Sajjad Musa I seem that strange collision between the realities of what is happening in the world and the delusions we prefer to concern ourselves with.

 

It can be overwhelming to think of all that is wrong in the world, there is so much happening that is out of our control.  But what we can control is our own education in what is truth and our own reactions to what is happening.  Mr. F and I have challenged each other to focus on the positive in each day and we share our positives with each other every night over dinner.  It helps to bring our focus off of what is wrong and onto what is right.  And it’s helping, even if just a little.
