FIVE REASONS WHY DESPAIR IS NO GOOD

FIVE REASONS WHY DESPAIR IS NO GOOD

May 29, 2017 By V.B. Price 7 Comments

Dear Readers,
The staff of the Mercury Messenger will be taking an early summer holiday to recharge and regroup. Perhaps we’ll even come to believe in sanity once again. The hiatus will last two weeks. The column will reappear June 12. In its place, the Messenger will publish two suites of poems instead.

Thanks for your interest and many comments.

    Extraordinary poems! They reverberate in every part of me. This is where we learn that life must imitate art or we will all be lost. Thank you V.B.

    I await your words; many times so I can be informed, many times so I can get involved. Best yet to know that humankind can both be kind and human.

    Thank you, V.B.

    Thank you for the wonderful poems, V.B. They were especially welcome at a time of stress and grief for us. We badly needed the perspective and uplifting of our spirits that you have provided.
