Such a delicate job you do, this time, illuminating the journey of balancing staying informed yet not at the expense of living in the garden of earth. We've all been raised on the good/evil story, it has infused our entertainment most of our lives, so here we are, I suppose, with the opportunity soon, if not now, at our doors to show up as the hero of our own lives. Thank you for being a brave and clear voice along my way.
Great essay! I have felt caught between letting it all go, trying not to pay attention to any of the BS happening on one hand, and continuing to stay caught up on the newest facts/data on the other. It is a balancing act between living life as it is meant to be lived - and how you described it - and being prepared for what may come.
At this point I realize that it is psychological preparation. I can discern that many many people have been maimed or died because of the clot shots. I feel pretty sure there is no end in site to that for a few years. I am psychologically preparing how to deal with that new way of life, where there probably won't be enough healthy people to run society the way we are used to, how to take care of orphans, how to deal with roaming hoards of hungry people. It could eventually come to that. I sure hope not. But it won't come out of left field for me if it does and I will be able to handle it.
For several months now, I make mental notes to appreciate even the smallest of things. I live on a busy highway and sometimes I hate the traffic noise. (Many times I don't notice it) But for there not to be traffic will mean something has gone horribly wrong.
I appreciate the positivity in this post. In spite of everything that's happening in our crazy world, there is still plenty of 'normal'. I listen to the birds chirping, going on as if life is normal, and realize in fact that so long as I don't indulge in screen time, life is perfectly normal and even beautiful. Screen time does remind me of what is going on in the background, and I'm appreciative of the truth tellers that help us avoid falling in to the pit, but I am trying harder, especially now that the weather is nice, to keep the 'crazy' in the background.
It stuns me how powerful the word "no" is and that fully-growed men (and women) have been incapable of using it.
And diamonds... sometimes I see myself and others as diamonds. I imagine with each profound integration of experience or knowledge a new facet has been cut; the more facets a diamond has the more brilliant it shines.
I find myself wishing - when I come across such heartfelt writing - that I lived in a dimension that time and distance weren't a barrier to friendship.

Even Satan and his demons respect "free will".
