🌀

this week has been heavy with tragedy, hypocrisy, hateful & inflammatory rhetoric, false accusations, opportunistic politics, & further erosion of norms & our democracy.

exhausting. so much of it, maybe most of it, is out of our control. but we do have – or should have – control over ourselves. we can practice self-regulation, self-discipline, open-heartedness, & yes – empathy. even if some think it’s a made up word or don’t believe in it. this week has made it obvious that many of us still have a lot of work to do in this area. but we should do so! we should do so knowing this stark truth – any moment may be our last.
