| Bringing joy, by default London, ON January 2025 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
It’s quite simple, really: I’m going to share photos that make me happy. And if I play my cards right, they’ll make you happy, as well.
I can’t make politicians less corrupt or damaged. Nor can I wave a wand and fix the economy, find folks a family doctor, or end homelessness.
But I’m able to conjure up words and images from nothing, and I understand that can be a handy skill to have when the going gets tough. Maybe it’ll even inspire us.
Our launch photo will be one of our dog, better known as Calli the Wonderschnauzer. And I’ll forewarn you: animals may be over-represented in this series. That’s because they know nothing of trade wars, tragedies, and unkindness.
Calli is just as ready to wake me with a sniffling nose on a quiet news day as she is on an insane one. She loves unconditionally, and never fails to stand between me and whatever she deems threatening.
I’m guessing the world would be a better place if humans could be more like her, so she gets to kick things off. Good girl.
And because everything has to have a hashtag these days, I’m going to use #TikkunOlam. That’s Hebrew for repair the world, and it’s a theme that’s resonated with me my entire life. I profoundly believe in art’s ability to repair the world and those within it, so here we are.
You’re absolutely welcome join in the fun and share your own #TikkunOlam contribution. Use the hashtag and tag me at @carmilevy. Let’s start something, shall we? The world needs it.
