Happy Friday, all.
We've been on tenterhooks for a while. Not just in the last few days, with sabre-rattling from Iran, Syria, Lebanon, India...
But before that, too. Remember the last year and a half of Russian invasion of Ukraine? The constant fears of further breakouts? Nuclear war? China?
Before then, pandemic.
And always, climate change.
We are living through a *lot*.
This is not an ideal "normal".
But it's ours.
So give yourself grace.
No one's going to be at their best right now. 🕊️
@MLClark some of the humans turned the Earth into a giant escape room in which numerous barriers are put up, including turning us against each other, before we can solve each major problem.
:( And at least with an Escape Room, you know there's a solution somewhere, because someone actively set it up.
This is just painful chaos.
Even if some find comfort (and I don't fault them for it, in such hard times) in believing that there's someone looking on who'll make everything right in time... we just have to keep trying to make a best-fit solution with what we've got on hand.
Thank you for doing what you can, where you can.
@MLClark and I do and you too!
The “change comes from within” concept is ever more relevant as the first step is maintaining one’s self in order to be resourceful & responsive. You phrased it as grace.
