“Yet I have come to understand that resistance has many faces and continues long after the fighting has stopped. Scholars struggle to preserve history by writing books, archivists create museums to raise consciousness, memoirists bear witness, reopening old wounds in the belief that in pain is the preservation of memory. Keeping faith, it can be said, is yet another form of resistance. Meanwhile songwriters and novelists (and filmmakers too) dramatize events of long ago, believing their art can bring the dead to life, if for only an hour or two in our imagination.”
– Ed Zwick, Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions

We don’t wait for hope, we create hope.
In doing something, we resist the entropy of our joys.
We cannot sit and wait for the good things to happen.
They happen through action.
It creates a positive charge.
We are powered though another day.
