I don't know about you, but I'm off social media entirely. I still have a twitter account but I never use it. I read a pretty wide cross-section here on Substack, especially long-form essays, with varying viewpoints. And I haven't watched TV news in years. Does that make me weird? Some kind of throwback anomaly? I don't know. But I feel a lot saner than I used to. I've stopped caring who said what. The human connection, the soul connection, the natural life of walks in the woods with a dog feels more real than anything. And I do feel that profound shift we are undertaking as a species, some may say a choice, if choice is to be had, between the machine and the mystery. Blessings.

You had me with the title and the accompanying artwork. And you're so right... what else can one do when confronted with a wobbly reality, but seek solid ground? Of course the irony blazes through here: the unseeable, unprovable Divine proves to be the most solid option. Gotta love a Universal Power with a sense of humor...

Thanks for this, Kathleen. xox
