Carey rocks! I forgot she was at the Greater Reset so thanks for sharing. I’m with her, have been for awhile now, once you know the basics it does no good to keep shocking yourself. Focus on solutions and yourself. At some point got to say, “Yeah in good I know enough,” and start focusing on positive ways to break free incrementally.

I feel the same. . . except for maybe the sky, but sometimes I talk to the sun and sing away the haze. . . curiously it seems to work.

Often I think all the deep diving and insistence in witnessing all the little pieces is a trauma response. Scanning the room to see where the next hit or punch will come from when you're too little to leave.

I've been calling it Swimming with Monsters.

I have a hard time ignoring things. It is my belief that ignoring things has kind of helped to bring us where we are. *But*, here's where I am with this difficult subject: Don't ignore things... but don't *worry* or *fear* the things going on or about the monsters behind said "things". I have a lot of dark opinions that are sometimes mistaken for "negativity". Nothing could be further from the truth. I try to temper that darkness by focusing on the positive things in my own life and the lives of the people I actually love and care about. And, more importantly, I don't ignore reality so that I am better prepared to face it head on and be prepared to say NO. I hate to use the example of "covid" here, but it's the best one I have... I *knew* from the very beginning it was a scam because I had been paying attention over my lifetime and saw the lead up to this murderous tragedy. Almost 90% of Americans fell for it all, hook, line and sinker (and some are still falling for it!). I wonder what that percentage would have been if the people hadn't been wearing rose colored glasses? Anyway, I completely get it! I definitely believe we shouldn't pay attention to the insanity in our world and focus on things we actually have power to influence. But, I definitely believe that we should *see* what's going on. If that makes sense. Thanks for sharing this Rob (c137)

Simplistic brief metaphors are , really, so deliciously appealing, like a simple ice cream sundae of mounds of sugar and milk topped with a luscious red cherry. Basic, simple, and sweet to the nth degree.

I recall one such imprinted on a massive billboard by the road at a church in Hawaii. "Don't Think. Pray. "

Orwell is envious.
