Thanksgiving

I'm trying to resist the urge to be cynical, and there's a lot of things to be cynical about when reflecting on Thanksgiving. But if art is about selective viewing, then why not reflect on a story of survival? A story of risk taking, uprooting and new beginnings. It's been awhile since I've thought about those weary travelers, the first immigrants. Happy Thanksgiving to them, and to the rest of us too.
