Instructions for life: CARE. Care about others, care for yourself. Martyrdom is ego. First, care. Love will follow ๐Ÿงก

A beautifully grounded reminder that we are in charge of our own happiness, that love prevails, and that Light still leads the way. These are challenging times, and I am grateful to acknowledge my sorrow, for it means I am aware of alternatives. Blessings to you, Bob, for helping us carry on!

Thank you for this extremely useful discussion of the mental health effects of the Trumpocalypse and actual, concrete suggestions for steps to take. Oh yeah, both my wife's and my horoscopes are right on target. Thank you for all of you hard work.

Adding my thanks; and a question: did you write the words in the screenshot quoted below (tried to copy/paste but it wouldnโ€™t work )? Iโ€™ve saved it as a reminder for myself and would also love to share it, with attribution:

โ€œYou know those fools who want to kill the world? We can't let them sustain their curses. We have to rise up and fight their insane logic; defy, resist, and prevent their tragic magic; tap into our sacred rage and supercharge it.

But overthrowing the living dead is not enough. We can't afford to be consumed with our anger; can't be obsessed and possessed by their danger. Our mysterious bodies crave delight and fertility. Our boisterous imaginations demand fresh tastes of infinity.

In the New Earth we're creating, we need lusty compassion and ecstatic duty, ingenious love and insurrectionary beauty.

We need radical curiosity and reverent pranks, voracious listening and ferocious thanksโ€.

If you see something that's not specifically attributed in my work, it means I wrote it. This passage is from my book "Pronoia is the Antidote for Paranoia."
