the English Wikiquote of the day for 30 June 2019
<https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Quote_of_the_day/June#30> is
appropriate to share for contemplation in the context of current tensions

.
"What I'm saying here is not, I agree, poetry, as poems should be
written rarely and reluctantly, under unbearable duress and only with
the hope that good spirits, not evil ones, choose us for their
instrument."
— Czesław Miłosz
<https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Czes%C5%82aw_Mi%C5%82osz>, Polish writer,
diplomat, and recipient of a Nobel Prize in Literature
I am grateful for hundreds of colleagues who have participated generously,
courageously, and in good faith to advocate for what they believe are the
best interests of the Wikiverse projects. (I request that in this thread we
avoid advocating for particular outcomes so that we remain on topic.)
What's making you grateful or happy this week? You are welcome to comment
in any language.
