What helps me...
I still believe in Gravity. And Karma. I believe in Justice & the Rule of Law. I believe in a Better Day. I believe that those we think of as "Evil-doers," are imprisoned & tortured by being themselves. That is their worst punishment, they have be them.
I believe in hard work, good cheer. I believe in Good Government & Democracy. I believe the Universe is an amazing, wondrous, & mysterious place. I believe we are all here to observe, to witness, and to discover our very own meanings and purposes.
I believe in the Creative Journey. I believe that Life is a Long-Form Improvisation. I believe it's important to Grow, to Change, to Evolve, to always be Learning. I believe in Grace, Hope, and an Inner Light.
And of course in the face of the constant turmoil, toil & trouble, and chaotic hurly-burly, I believe one must be clear-headed, alive, aware & awake. And of course, always, Damn the Torpedoes...
