The Fantasticks is a musical that will always hold a special place in my heart. The poetry and music combine to tell a tale that we all know but have never heard before. The blend of comedy and love sprinkled with rhyme show us how beautiful life can be.

Unfortunately for us all, we are not living in the "kind of September when life was slow and oh, so mellow." Happy endings seem to be few and far between for most, while too ripe plumbs and evil-minded bandits are running amock.

So, what do we do now? I have no solution. I can say vote, and I know many still will not or will have their rights infringed upon. I can say show love and compassion, but I know many cannot and choose willfully to be heartless. I can say all the things I want to. I can yell till my face turns blue and my head grows dizzy. I can cry till I feel that I may never be able to cry again and yet still cry more. I can demand change, however those who remain in power are also either afraid to, unable to, and simply won't change.

I wish I could do so much more. I will keep trying, and I will keep saying that nothing happening right now is normal. I will not give up my attempts to change both the world and myself one step (and often leaps) at a time.

​I wish you all a September worth remembering.

"Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow."

​Now, lead.
