2020

How many write about their reflections of 2020? About all of us collectively going a little insane this year in facing the things we can't adequately manage. Failing a little more to keep whatever systems we care for in a healthy state. Whether it's our passionate actions themselves causing the damage or whether it's our environment shifting in discomforting and life threatenting ways; we then face our illusions of reality and realize how vulnerable we are when we don't want to be. And it's life's humorous game that in the contradictions and counterbalances of things that we can find some solace when accepted and/or applied. However, we have to let go of those illusions that seem to be built into us from our start or that we wrap around ourselves as we change moment to moment.

I was one of the fortunate ones in 2020. I am, so far, safe from death. I am, so far, safe in my efforts to support my life and the lives of my family. We have a safe place to lay our heads, food on our table, and opportunities to explore as we are able to go beyond basic survival in our life together. I can't say I see the same for some out there and even, seemingly to me, more joined the ranks of those struggling with all that went on this year. I hope their game of life get's better for them. That they get to enjoy fortune and privileged opportunies for themselve as well. I hope this coming set of seasons brings more optimal situations and less struggle to maybe counter the increase that went on in this year.

Love and Peace to all under heaven and beyond :)
