\"\"<\/a>What to write about? It\u2019s hard for me to continue to post sentiments here that appear oblivious to what\u2019s happening in the world around me. One thing I decided on my latest break is that while I don\u2019t care to perpetuate trauma drama as a regular thing here (I\u2019d much rather shoot my mouth off in my local community, within my family and so on, where I might actually have more impact), I do want to remember the suffering that continues around the world, sanctioned historically by my own government as well as those of other countries.

It\u2019s these little things that provide momentary solace. That, and my knowing that there ARE others out there paying attention too, trying to keep their hope afloat, sometimes sharing their moments of joy, other times speaking to despair. The wabi-sabi, ying-yang of our human existence here on Earth. Sometimes we just need to know we are not alone, and let others like us know they are not alone. When we no longer know that, that is the time for true despair. Yet we\u2019ll still cling to our tattered hopes, won\u2019t we?<\/p>\n
