Whew

Been quite a week already. I am late today but I suppose there are excuses. Hospital visits, counselling, writing for my dissertation, world burning down. You know, the usual. Between weird, I guess assassination fumbles, and royal rebukes, Iran winning a war against the USA and Ukraine against Russia, the world cup collapsing and ongoing trade disputes, there are so many distractions.

But what to do to gain, regain, or maintain balance in all this? It is a lot. Well other than of being late on this post i’ve been doing pretty well. We are doing a regular weekly yoga practice now in person. Last Sunday I had the day off so we went to see my adult offspring perform in Sondheim’s “Assassins” (amazing production and far too timely). Last night we saw a rehersal of “Little Red Warrior and his Lawyer” at Regina’s Globe Theatre. Get tickets if you can for that but dont take young children. Its a show for adults.

We need to keep living, growing and learning in times like these. Preserve and expand our humanity. Reach out and support each other, especially those in need. This will pass. Empires are falling and disasters are happening. Wars rage on. There are so many needs. Do what you can. Speak out for justice, peace, and compassion. Support those struggling any way you can.

We really are all in the same spaceship breathing the same air and drinking the same water. Find a cause and fight for it with your full heart. Fight with care and compassion and all your resources.

Just be faithful.

And please dont be a fascist.
