There are times in our life when we must go underground, not in retreat, but to self-heal, rebuild our community in terms of good, not party, not self-interest, but as a mobilizing energy propelled by benevolence. This is not rhetorical. It is a plan. I started this morning with my offspring and then slowly with friends.
Do not feel cornered, hemmed in. Do not let your mental and heart space be dictated by others. Navigate the world around you best you can and live in the world of your world. That’s what I wrote today. Back to work
