Please continue to post things that bring you delightโ€”whether it be humor, art, music, pets, storiesโ€”whatever.

Thatโ€™s not to be instead of your fear, anger, or worryโ€”but as a healthy source of balance.

In this grim context, I donโ€™t want the small pleasures of life to be stripped away while weโ€™re distracted. Fight to keep that part of you active and engaged too.

As a Christian, I remind you that
Jesus was a gun loving nationalist
who opposed
abortion,
liberals
immigration,
labor unions
and gay rights
Oh wait, did I say Jesus?

Sorry, I meant Hitler.
Jesus did none of that.
That was all part of Hitlerโ€™s agenda.

The Second Coming
W. B. Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Memories are not only stored in the brain but
are affected by other cells in the body. This is a complicated but fascinating read:
