November 2020: Darkness and Light

The fall leaves portray the darkness and light of these treacherous times. We are surviving Covid – barely — as fall and winter surges are upon us now.

We are struggling with profound feelings of isolation, as we are reticent to see family and friends beyond one’s bubble as the “holidays” approach. It is challenging to have a holiday feeling under the current conditions. There are mixed feelings: anxiety, depression, then spurts of activation and projects to accomplish —such an up and down ride. Realize that it is a rocky ride for all and depression can set in when you least expect it.

That said our fall image portrays the beautiful depth of purple and red of transformation. We can find both our strengths and our weaknesses, down feelings punctuated by creativity.

We are taking on the times — even the ominous foreboding that lurks as we move forward day-by-day.

The Election

The election today engenders terror. We can’t help but feel extreme stress. We also may feel the anticipation of hope that the psychopath will be removed.

Many of you have made substantial political efforts and activated your best efforts to participate.

We hope and pray for our deserved time of transformation, civility, and an absence of corruption. We can renew our democracy, our pride, and revive our international standing.

Let us embark with hope and courage and find our wings that lift us up and revive our spirits.
