Locally, personally, all is well. It doesn't take much: a good sleep, excellent coffee brew, music always playing on the box. My life is basically a long, meandering musical.
This morning, I briefly click on the radio for a dose of the latest news, "I wonder what's happening out there?"
And... well... it's all pretty much bad news. I mean, we are all now living on a very hot, over-stuffed, planet. Another War has broken out, this time in the Middle East. Folks are testy, and pissed off, and taking it out on each other. Human Beings are very good at inflicting pain and suffering on other Human Beings.
All the folks doing the good work seem to be overshadowed by the Agents of Chaos. And, you know, it's much easier to amplify the chaos, much harder to make things work for the benefit of all. Turns out that often, the shouters, the greedy ones, the blood-thirsty-types, and the ignorant fools (they are legion), dominate the highways and bi-ways of conversation & communication. Yikes. The overall trend looks a bit dicey.
Taking care of our own (tend to your garden always), mental health seems so very essential.
There are always the competing forces, light and dark, creation and destruction. It's that kind of Universe. We have to juggle, and grapple with, those competing forces, and try to make them work for us. We have to do our best to stay positive and hopeful. Damn the torpedoes. Sure. I know. "It don't come easy." Just ask Ringo.
But living with heart, and love, and a musical soul. That's the thing!
