i am distracted by the two days. the two days that are left. the two days before. two days. a whole two days. only two days.
“now it’s your turn to stand guard. may you all be the keeper of the flame. may you keep the faith.” (president joe biden – the united states of america)
so.
acknowledge dread, the quaking in your chest. know that in a hug one might feel the fluttering of another’s heart; one might calm the storm a bit.
be vigilant, ever watchful, particularly for opportunities to help preserve decency. know that there is power in compassion.
speak to truth; expose trickery and deceit and cruelty. silence is not golden, especially now. know that you are not alone in your grief nor your wish for goodness to prevail.
keep walking. hold hands.

Wise words. I might add music with hugging and holding hands. “I Didn’t Know” for a starter. Then finish with “Our House” by Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Eh, just a thought.
Oops! Bunnies are at our front door. Gotta go!
