Ridiculous & Horrifying...

Folk #1: Yes. It's true. The present predicament of our on-going, always-expanding present, has plunged my partner & I into long bouts of soul-searching. All of this un-hinged behavior, joyous barbarity & over-amped corruption shamelessly displayed by our fellow Humans is so off-putting, disconcerting, worrisome, and alien. We are experiencing Vertigo, and Ego Death. Sure, day to day, we do exist on solid ground, we walk the streets, sidewalks & paths, making our daily rounds, but at the same time everything seems off-kilter, broken, and strange. We are spinning, lost, disconnected. I suppose we are just grappling with Reality, and it seems that Reality is in deep conflict with pretty much everything we ever thought we knew. So yeah, a reckoning, a recalibration, a yearning to reset to a new understanding. But the onslaught of events, riduclous & horrifying, is so powerful, we are washed away in waves of deep uncertainty. It's pretty weird. Cast adrift from any semblance of truth, honor, grace, love. Even though we know those are the values we must cling to, & cherish.
