Thank you. I could no longer sleep and decided to sit at my computer and contemplate. Yours was the first article and was so in inline with my rambling thoughts as I lay in bed deciding what to do and thinking about all I do not know and all I have been blessed with knowing. I also fight my anger, but amazingly at this stage of life I am just beginning to give it a better place in my mind, still available but not overwhelming. Please excuse my typing. The arthritis affects the way I strike the keys.
I have immense empathy for people whose lives are in tumult because of ugly political moves. Years ago, many of us determined that we had to ”get right with ourselves” first, then radiate outwards. All that was way before the internet, etc. The current catchwords in USA are “get involved in your local community”, as far as I can tell. But you can only be useful and helpful, even in small, limited ways, once you have centred yourself. When sleeplessness hits, we do tend to go to the computer, but I have found that reading something on paper induces sleep and calm much more quickly. And doing that means that you don’t have to type, so, win-win. I am sorry about the arthritis.
