This post spoke to my soul... Thank you for writing it. I pose myself similar questions. On one hand, I want to dedicate my work to art and creativity and writing. On the other, I see the huge need in the world for activists, for doers. Though I was always more of an observer, analyzing and writing things down in the margins, I feel called to be part of the action, despite its heaviness and heartbreak, in fact, because of it. And yet, I keep returning to this question: what if I am both? What if I merge the art, the truth, the personal, the moving, the sacred, with the activism, the action, the regeneration? And, in fact, the art (books, movies, etc) that has moved me the most did just that.

I wonder how this question informs your work.
