The clock ticks down on all our dreams as world and national events are a constant barrage of end time vibes I find it difficult to believe that cooler heads will prevail in the weeks and months ahead I try to tend to my microcosm and live in the moment but sometimes I just freak out because growing old is harder than it looks regrets crowd in and the sharp urgency of now reminds me to keep breathing and being with people I love doing things that make me happy and taking in the beauty of the natural world Never has life seemed so precarious nor the forces of evil more nefarious but I want to still my pounding heart find a way to be in the eye of the swirling storm.
I feel the same, Susan. It all feels too much to take in. Our nervous systems weren’t meant to be in a barrage of information 24/7. It’s a difficult dance between being informed and keeping care of our souls and hearts. Loved ones, nature, art…maybe that’s how well survive 💙
